[Verse 1]
Teeth on the glass
Hands shaking over the stove light
You say I'm too much
I say you’re just too polite
Bite down the truth
Tongue tastes like gasoline
You keep your halo
Hung where I can’t be seen
[Pre-Chorus]
You push
I fold
Then I snap back violent
You call it love
But you love me silent
Every calm word feels like it’s loading a round
[Chorus]
Burn it down
Every promise
Every picture on the wall
Burn it down
Every quiet little way you made me small
If this is how you keep me now
Strike the match
I won’t back out
Burn it down
Burn it down
[Verse 2]
You count my scars
Like trophies lined on your shelf
Say I’m dramatic
But you edited yourself
You dim my voice
Till I’m just lips in the dark
Then act surprised
When I come up sharp
[Pre-Chorus]
You spin
I stall
Then I crash through ceilings
You want the shell
But you choke my feelings
Every soft touch feels like it’s tying me down
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Let the smoke write everything we never said
Let the heat lick every corner of the bed
If I’m the villain in the story in your head
Watch me walk away while it all goes red
[crescendo]
I’m done being careful
I’m done being kind
If love is a cage
You’re already behind
[Chorus]
