[Verse 1]
Jaw tight
Taste rust
Every thought
Is a small cut
White noise
In my chest
Every breath feels
Like a threat
I choke on
Things I won’t say
Bite my tongue
Till it’s all gray
Smile like
I’m doing fine
Got a war
Behind my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep it caged
Chain on every word
If I let it out
It would stain this world
[Chorus]
I got teeth on the inside
Clawing at my throat (let me go)
Every heartbeat landmine
Set to overload
Can’t scream, can’t bleed
So it eats at my bones
Teeth on the inside
Chewing through my soul
[Verse 2]
Clock ticks
Like a drill
Every second dares me
To kill the chill
Fists itch
For a face
Any mirror
Any place
I am calm
On the outside
Dead stare
Like a flatline
But the burn in my blood
Is a rising flood
Holding it back
Till it poisons the mud
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep it caged
Chain on every word
If I let it out
It would salt this earth
[Chorus]
I got teeth on the inside
Clawing at my throat (let me go)
Every heartbeat landmine
Set to overload
Can’t scream, can’t bleed
So it eats at my bones
Teeth on the inside
Chewing through my soul
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to grinding bass and drums, vocal half-whispered, half-growled]
I’m a sealed drum
Filled with nails
If I ever crack
You’ll feel the hail
I swallow storms
Till my stomach tears
Pray it breaks me
Before it breaks the air (yeah)
[Chorus]
I got teeth on the inside
Clawing at my throat (let me go)
Every heartbeat landmine
Set to overload
Can’t scream, can’t bleed
So it eats at my bones
Teeth on the inside
Chewing through my soul (through my soul)
