[Verse 1]
Bolt in my neck
Code in my chest
Clock on my back just
Grinding me flat
Woke in a warehouse
Tag on my toe, still
Signed for the night shift
Paid in regrets
Teeth full of filings
Jaw full of nails
Hands still shaking from
Last time I failed
They said "adapt or
Rust in the street"
So I stitched my panic
Right into the beat (hah)
[Chorus]
I got rust in my teeth and fire in my lungs
March in the grind where the dead songs hum
If the world’s gonna break me, better come with a gun
‘Cause I bite, I bleed, I don’t ever run
I got rust in my teeth and static in my veins
Walk through the smoke, baptized in the flames
If the sky’s gonna fall, let it carve my name
I’m the crack in the chrome you can’t contain (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Heart like a hard drive
Click, then it stalls
Thought I was free till
I measured these walls
Tried to be quiet
Kept my head low
Still they drew targets
All over my soul
Boot on my rib cage
Steel in my stare
I learned to stand up
Right under the scare
Turned every breakdown
Into a blade
Now the fear you gave me
Bout to get repaid (hey)
[Chorus]
I got rust in my teeth and fire in my lungs
March in the grind where the dead songs hum
If the world’s gonna break me, better come with a gun
‘Cause I bite, I bleed, I don’t ever run
I got rust in my teeth and static in my veins
Walk through the smoke, baptized in the flames
If the sky’s gonna fall, let it carve my name
I’m the crack in the chrome you can’t contain
[Bridge]
[beat cuts to stuttered loop, whispered vocal]
Bite down
Till the gears all slip
Black out
Then I tighten my grip
You built
Me to fold, to quit
But I
Was the glitch in it (woah)
[Chorus]
I got rust in my teeth and fire in my lungs
March in the grind where the dead songs hum
If the world’s gonna break me, better come with a gun
‘Cause I bite, I bleed, I don’t ever run
I got rust in my teeth and static in my veins
Walk through the smoke, baptized in the flames
If the sky’s gonna fall, let it carve my name
I’m the crack in the chrome you can’t contain (yeah)
