[Verse 1]
Teeth on gravel
Heart in a vise
You said “forever”
Then cut the line
Your ghost in the drywall
Breath on my tongue
Every word you left
Burns into my lungs
[Chorus]
I’m choking on the black smoke
Of everything we almost were
Love turned into ash clouds
Scraping out my throat
It hurts
Pain
Love
Anger
All tangled in my bones
I’m choking on the black smoke
But I’m crawling for a home
[Verse 2]
Frames on the carpet
Glass in my hands
Blood in the fingerprints
Where we used to stand
I scream at the ceiling
It doesn’t scream back
Just the hum of the wiring
And my pulse going black
[Breakdown]
[low vocal register]You did this
I let you
We did this
Now I’m through[ /low vocal register]
[guttural vocals]Ripping out the roots of us
One by one by one[guttural vocals]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
There’s a pinhole light
Through the smoke I breathe
Tiny
Trembling
On a cracked-up screen
If this is what hope is
Burning
Thin
Broke
Then I’ll drag it through my chest
‘Til it cuts the choke
[Chorus]
