[Verse 1]
[F]
I hid the tremor in my sleeve
Smile tight, jaw set, eyes on me
Your hand in mine felt way too small
Like paper under something tall
[F]
I heard it knocking in my ribs
A starving thing with broken lips
I said "I'm fine" through bitten teeth
But my shadow moved in front of me
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
Oh, don't look now
It's getting loud
I'm splitting at the seams
[F]
Oh, hold me down
Before I drown
In what I'm meant to be
[Chorus]
[F]
I'm not yours tonight
I'm not yours tonight
Baby, I break in light
[F]
Kaiju in my skin
Kaiju in my skin
Say my name, let me in
(Fall apart, let me in)
[Verse 2]
[F]
My bones are drums in the dark
Every breath leaves a bigger mark
I taste the rain, I taste the fear
Like the whole sky's bending near
[F]
You said "stay soft," you said "stay small"
But something ancient heard the call
Now my heartbeat shakes the floor
And I can't fit myself no more
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
Oh, don't look now
It's getting loud
I'm splitting at the seams
[F]
Oh, hold me down
Before I drown
In what I'm meant to be
[Chorus]
[F]
I'm not yours tonight
I'm not yours tonight
Baby, I break in light
[F]
Kaiju in my skin
Kaiju in my skin
Say my name, let me in
(Fall apart, let me in)
[Bridge]
[F]
Hear me turn
Hear me shake
Little girl, big mistake
[F, growled]
I was soft
Now I bite
I am thunder made alive
[F]
If I cry, it's not for mercy
If I roar, it's 'cause you hurt me
Keep your hands off what I guard
I'm the monster with a scar
[Final Chorus]
[F]
I'm not yours tonight
I'm not yours tonight
Baby, I break in light
[F]
Kaiju in my skin
Kaiju in my skin
Say my name, let me in
(Fall apart, let me in)
[F, growled]
Kaiju in my skin
Kaiju in my skin
I was yours, now I'm the storm
(Fall apart, let me in)
