[Verse 1]
You said I look too calm
Like I don't feel the bruise
But I keep counting cracks
In every move I choose
I wear the truth too sharp
It cuts through what I hide
Got a cold little grin
And a storm I keep inside
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can hear it now
That drum in my chest
I'm holding back the fall
With my teeth and my breath
[Chorus]
Bite the hand, bite the hand
When it feeds me pain
World on fire, world on fire
I still say your name
Dark iron halo
Bent above my head
Teenage mentality
Won't let me rest
[Verse 2]
Scars on my sheets
Like map lines in the dark
Every old mistake
Left a clean little mark
You call it reckless love
I call it taking sides
When the room goes red
I don't know how to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can hear it now
That drum in my chest
I'm holding back the fall
With my teeth and my breath
[Chorus]
Bite the hand, bite the hand
When it feeds me pain
World on fire, world on fire
I still say your name
Dark iron halo
Bent above my head
Teenage mentality
Won't let me rest
[Bridge]
If I break, I break loud
If I bleed, let it show
I was made from the wreck
And you taught me to go
Back for the flame
Back for the hit
I don't get to be soft
Not with this
[Chorus]
Bite the hand, bite the hand
When it feeds me pain
World on fire, world on fire
I still say your name
Dark iron halo
Bent above my head
Teenage mentality
Won't let me rest
[Outro]
Scars on my sheets
And I wear them proud
Bite the hand, bite the hand
Till the dark comes out
