Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wake up
Jaw tight
Same cracks in the ceiling staring back
Same voice
Cold bite
Saying I’m a burden
Dead weight
Dead last
Hide the tremor in my hands
Zip the hoodie
Play the game
Laugh at every little joke
So they don’t see the shame
[Chorus]
I smile through the teeth
While I’m bleeding underneath
Every “I’m fine” feels like fire in my lungs
But I won’t back down
From the war inside me now
If I’ve gotta burn to stand
Then let me burn (right now)
[Verse 2]
Mirror on the bathroom wall
Keeps calling me a fraud
A fake
Too small
Old scars
Fresh doubt
Clawing at my ribcage
Trying to crawl out
But I’ve walked this wire before
Bare feet on the rust and thorns
Yeah it hurts to hold my ground
Hurts worse to just conform
[Chorus]
I smile through the teeth
While I’m bleeding underneath
Every “I’m fine” feels like fire in my lungs
But I won’t back down
From the war inside me now
If I’ve gotta burn to stand
Then let me burn (right now)
[Bridge]
I am not your quiet failure
Not your ghost in every room
I’m the crack that splits the armor
I’m the bloom that breaks the tomb (yeah)
So here’s my fear
Laid bare
No filter
If I shake
I shake
But I will not wither
[Chorus]
I smile through the teeth
While I’m bleeding underneath
Every “I’m fine” is a promise I’ll outrun
I won’t back down
From the war inside me now
If I’ve gotta burn to stand
Then let me burn
I smile through the pain
’Cause I’m learning how to stay
If I’m crawling
If I’m broken
I’m still here
I won’t back down
From the worst inside me now
I’ll wear this crooked grin like armor over fear (oh)
