[Verse 1]
Words on a screen
Flat glass
Cold glow
You lean in close
Let them cut you slow
You feed that fire
Scroll and bleed
Hand on the handle
You help it sink deep
[Chorus]
Knife in the wound
You turn it
You turn it
You give those letters teeth
You burn when you burn it
Words only weigh
What you let them do
Drop that blade
It was always you
[Verse 2]
They throw their shade
Paper-thin breath
You paint it sharp
Call it life or death
Step out the story
Step off the stage
Let that echo
Fade into the haze
[Chorus]
Knife in the wound
You turn it
You turn it
You give those letters teeth
You burn when you burn it
Words only weigh
What you let them do
Drop that blade
It was always you
[Bridge]
Stop it
Let it fall through
Static in the room
Has nothing on you
Stop it
Cut that cord loose
They can't touch skin
If you don’t let ‘em through
[Chorus]
Knife in the wound
You turn it
You turn it
You give those letters teeth
You burn when you burn it
Words only weigh
What you let them do
Drop that blade
It was always you
