No Traction Left

[Verse 1] Teeth on the curb of my own doubt Every promise tastes like rust Kicked in the ribs by another dark morning Still I get up Still I get up Blood on the tread of a dead-end habit Spin in place till the floor gives way Every step a nail in the coffin I carry But I drag it anyway [Pre-Chorus] I claw at the edge But the ground keeps breaking Hands full of glass From the hope I'm shaking [Chorus] No traction left But I'm still turning Skidding on the edge Of a world that's burning If I'm going down Then I'll go screaming Ripping off the chain From this broken feeling No traction left But my heart's still steering [Verse 2] Face in the glare of a cracked reflection Eyes like storms I tried to cage You said "heal" but you loved my bleeding Turned my scars into a stage I wore your blame like a crown of splinters Bit my tongue till it tasted steel Now every word is a match I’m striking I want you to see me feel [Pre-Chorus] I choke on the past But the rope is thinning Every shallow breath Is a war I'm winning [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Count the fractures One by one Name each fracture "I’m not done" [breakdown Shouted gang vocals] Tread is gone But I won't stop Bare bones bite Through the rock [clean vocal over rising chords] If the road won't hold me I'll carve it with my knees Every fall rewrites me Into who I’m meant to be [Chorus]
