[Intro]
Low hum in the walls
Red digits bleed on the clock
Teeth on the steel of my tongue
I taste rust
I taste shock
[Verse 1]
Concrete veins
Pumping static through my head
Bare feet on a cold floor
Breath fog
Eyes red
Chain-link heartbeat
Clattering behind my ribs
Every thought another drill bit
Every memory strips
[Chorus]
Tear out these concrete veins
Let the animal crawl through the cracks
I’m done pretending I’m tamed
I was built to bite back
Let it shake
Let it break
Every cage that you wrap around me
Tear out these concrete veins
See what’s really beneath
[Verse 2]
Sirens in the ceiling
Flash in the corner of my sight
Hands twitch
Jaw ticks
I lean into the bite
You want polite and hollow
You want quiet
Clean and small
[low vocal register] I am the hum before the impact
The shadow on your wall
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Count the scars
Count the screws
Every mark is proof I refuse
[building
Layered screams under]
Bend the bone
Crack the mold
Feel the hunger taking hold
I won’t bow
I won’t fold
I come alive when I’m uncontrolled
[Chorus]
