[Verse 1]
Textbooks stained with
Coffee and red ink
Eyes like cracked glass
Staring through me
Everyone’s laughing
In fluorescent halos
I keep my smile
Like a stitched-up halo
[Pre-Chorus]
Is there a place
Where the monsters sleep?
Or do they sit
In the second seat? (hey!)
You tap my desk
Say “are you okay?”
My throat says “run”
But my heart says “stay”
[Chorus]
Bite down on the heartbreak
Taste it
Crimson classroom
Can you face it?
I’m half human
Half mistake
But I still call your name
Rip out every worn-out page
Make a weapon from this cage
If I’m broken
Let me break
Right here in your gaze (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Vending machine glow
3 a.m. rain
Your hand on my sleeve
Pulls me from the drain
You say my name
Like it’s not a curse
Like I’m more than
Every ugly verse
[Pre-Chorus]
If I show you
All the teeth and shame
Will you stay close
When you see the fangs? (yeah)
Locker doors slam
Like a starting gun
We’re just two ghosts
Chasing down the sun
[Chorus]
Bite down on the heartbreak
Taste it
Crimson classroom
Can you face it?
I’m half human
Half mistake
But I still call your name
Rip out every worn-out page
Make a weapon from this cage
If I’m broken
Let me break
Right here in your gaze (oh-oh)
[Bridge]
Tear off this uniform
It never fit my skin
If I turn into a storm
Will you let me in? (let me in)
I’ll draw a doorway
On this cracked white wall
If you write your name beside it
I won’t fear the fall
[Chorus]
Bite down on the heartbreak
Taste it
Crimson classroom
Can you face it?
I’m half human
Half mistake
But I still call your name
Rip out every worn-out page
Make a weapon from this cage
If I’m broken
Let me break
Screaming out your name (your name)
Crimson classroom
Let me break
And walk out unafraid
