Break the Blade

[Verse 1]
Take out the blade and kill the pain
That’s what the mirror fed my brain
Bathroom light humming
Fists on stone
Red in my eyes
I’m not alone
[Pre-Chorus]
I see my name in the rust and the rain
Hear every echo call me insane
But I’m still here
Scars like a chain
I’m not your victim
I’m not your stain
[Chorus]
Break the blade
Throw it down
Let it rust on the ground (hey!)
If I’ve gotta bleed tonight
I’ll bleed this poison from my mind
Break the blade
Scream my name
Turn that hurt into a flame
If I’ve gotta burn to stay
I’ll melt this metal in my veins
[Verse 2]
Pill bottles lined like little graves
Voices parade
Then hide in caves
Phone full of texts I’ll never send
Typing “I’m fine” again
Again
[Pre-Chorus]
I taste the iron
I taste the lie
Hands start to shake
But I’m still alive
Your shadow’s loud
But I won’t obey
I’ve got a thousand things to say
[Chorus]
Break the blade
Throw it down
Let it rust on the ground (oh yeah)
If I’ve gotta bleed tonight
I’ll bleed this poison from my mind
Break the blade
Scream my name
Turn that hurt into a flame
If I’ve gotta burn to stay
I’ll melt this metal in my veins
[Bridge]
You want me quiet?
I’ll roar instead
You drew the line
I’ll cut the thread
You built a cage
Around my skin
I’ll use these hands
To break back in (hey!)
[Chorus]
Break the blade
Throw it down
Let it rust on the ground
If I’ve gotta bleed tonight
I’ll bleed this poison from my mind
Break the blade
Scream my name
Turn that hurt into a flame
If I’ve gotta burn to stay
I’ll melt this metal in my veins
[Outro]
Take out the blade
And kill the pain
Not in my flesh
But in my brain
