[Verse 1] The ceiling’s got a story and I’ve read it a thousand times Tracing every hairline fracture, matching up the crimes The world is at the window with a hammer and a spiteful grin Trying to find the softest spot to cave the structure in I’m curled up in the corner of a thought I can’t escape While the shadows on the drywall start to take a jagged shape They’re screaming that I’m finished, that the debt is overdue But I’ve got a special kind of venom I’ve been saving just for you. [Pre-Chorus] It’s cold in the headspace, a beautiful cage I’m flipping through the chapters of a never-ending rage The pressure’s rising, the walls are closing tight But I’m not turning out the light. [Chorus] Because I’m far too petty to give ‘em the satisfaction Of watching me break under all this traction You can beat me down until the bone starts to show But I’ll stay alive just to say I told you so Yeah, I’m trapped in the dark, in the deep, in the gray But I’m breathing just to ruin your day. [Verse 2] Is it a haunting or a habit? I can’t really tell I’ve decorated every single corner of this private hell The universe is betting on my knees hitting the floor But I’ll stand up out of spite and then I’ll ask for fucking more You want a tragedy? Go find a different soul to bleed My stubbornness is the only oxygen I’ll ever need Go ahead and rain, go ahead and let the thunder roll You can’t evict the spite that’s living in my soul. [Bridge] I could let go... It would be so quiet. It would be so still. But then you’d win. And I will never let you win. I’m staying here. Out of pure. Unadulterated. Malice. [Chorus] Because I’m far too petty to give ‘em the satisfaction Of watching me break under all this traction You can beat me down until the bone starts to show But I’ll stay alive just to say I told you so Yeah, I’m trapped in the dark, in the deep, in the gray But I’m breathing just to ruin your day. [Outro] I’m still here. Just to spite the sun. I’m not done. I’m never done.
