[Verse 1] Pulse in the gums, I can taste my own panic Tongue tied in knots, every thought went erratic Room full of exits, but I move like a statue Hands on the doorknob, my shadow still slapped you Knee-deep in the static, brain split in the traffic Smile on my face but the inside is panic Heartbeat hiccups, then it starts to detonate Vision get narrow like a blade in a dinner plate Step turn to stumble, breath turn to shatter Mind do a flip and the whole world scatter Run, fight, freeze, but the switch been burned out By the time I decide, it already curled out I’m talkin’ to God with a grin like a joker Laugh while I choke and the room get colder Thought I could master the beast in my chest Now I hear it chewing through the cage in my breast [Pre-Chorus] Too late, too late I feel it drop Too late, too late Can’t make it stop [Chorus] Too late, too late Red alert smile Too late, too late I’m wild for a while Too late, too late Run when it hits Too late, too late I’m already it [Verse 2] Face in the glass and the glass look meaner Eyes gone feral in a cheap casino Every bad idea got a seat in the front row Every old scar start to talk like it know I been the one with the plan, with the grin, with the angle Now I’m all teeth in a corner, untangled Fight or flight came dressed like a referee Then the bell rang once and it stepped over me Nails on the walls, I can hear my own naming Mouth full of smoke from a match I been framing I don’t need a monster, I’m breathing the evidence Self-made hell with a locked-door residency Laugh in the dark, let it crack like a mirror Each little echo make the silence get nearer Thought I was dangerous—nah, I was just scared Now the scared got a mask and it’s fully prepared [Pre-Chorus] Too late, too late The walls all bend Too late, too late Nowhere to send [Chorus] Too late, too late Red alert smile Too late, too late I’m wild for a while Too late, too late Run when it hits Too late, too late I’m already it [Bridge] I hear my name in the buzz of the lights In the bite of the air, in the curl of the night There’s a hand on my throat and it feels like me There’s a laugh in the dark saying, “set it free” Set it free Set it free Set it free Too late to flee [Final Chorus] Too late, too late Red alert smile Too late, too late I’m wild for a while Too late, too late Run when it hits Too late, too late I’m already it Too late, too late Red alert smile Too late, too late I’m wild for a while Too late, too late Run when it hits Too late, too late I’m already it
