[Intro]
[low strings swell, distant choir]
I got scars on replay
Same scene, same screen, each day
Every shadow knows my name
But I’m still standing in the flame (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Chip on my tongue
Blood in my teeth
Every soft word
Turns to a scream
Heart like a bruise
Yellow and deep
I don’t get rest
I just don’t sleep
You said “heal”
I heard “hide”
You said “feel”
I chose “fight”
If I’m wrong
Then so be it
I’m the wound
You won’t stitch
[Chorus]
Turn back the night
I don’t wanna fade yet
I’m still on fire
Burning through the same regrets
If this is the end
I’m biting every second of the sky
Turn back the night
Or watch me claw it inside out (inside out)
[Verse 2]
Every “are you okay?”
Feels like a threat
Like you’d love me more
If I just bled less
I wear my rage
Like a second skin
Pull the zipper high
Keep the terror in
I am the crack
In the perfect frame
The quiet kid
With the loudest shame
Sick of the script
That I never chose
Rip out the page
Let the anger go
[Chorus]
Turn back the night
I don’t wanna fade yet
I’m still on fire
Burning through the same regrets
If this is the end
I’m biting every second of the sky
Turn back the night
Or watch me claw it inside out (inside out)
[Bridge]
[sudden drop, bass and drums hit hard]
I’m not your lesson
I’m not your saint
I’m not the pretty little
Story you paint
I am the glitch
In your perfect code
I am the storm
You can’t control
(hey!)
If I can’t go back
Then I’ll tear straight through
If the dark won’t break
I’ll make it move
Every “stay quiet”
Turns into a roar
I was made for this war
I was made for this war (yeah)
[Chorus]
Turn back the night
I don’t wanna fade yet
I’m still on fire
Burning through the same regrets
If this is the end
I’m biting every second of the sky
Turn back the night
I’ll turn it, twist it, make it mine
Turn back the night
Or watch me claw it inside out (inside out)
