[Verse 1]
Teeth on edge
Fluorescent buzz in my skull
You talk in poison paragraphs
I taste each syllable
Bite marks
On the tongue I had to hold
You twist the truth
Till the room turns cold
[Pre-Chorus]
You wear that halo
Like a hunting knife
Every small forgiveness
Cuts another line
[Chorus]
Glass jaws
Shatter when you speak my name
All that armor
Cracks beneath the weight
You built a throne
Out of every time I bled
Now choke on the crown
Choke on the crown instead
[Verse 2]
You say I'm "lucky"
To be under your thumb
Call it tough love
While you steady your gun
Backhand blessings
Till my faith comes loose
Your comfort is a cage
With a velvet noose
[Pre-Chorus]
You call it mercy
When you cross the line
But every soft apology
Is just another lie
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I dug your hooks out
With my bare hands
Spit out the rust
And I finally stand
You only feel tall
When you keep me small
So watch me rise
Rise
As you start to fall (fall, fall)
[Chorus]
