# SCREAMING THROUGH MY TEETH ### [INTRO] *Amp hum. Pick scrape. Distant distorted breathing.* You ever have so much shit to say... ...that you don't even know how to say it? So you bite your tongue. You swallow it. You bury it. Until eventually... **IT STARTS SCREAMING THROUGH YOUR FUCKING TEETH.** *Riff detonates.* --- ### [VERSE 1] I've been biting back every bitter little sentence, While the tension in my chest keeps increasing by the second, Got aggression in my bloodstream, every breath becomes electric, If I ever let it out, I might destroy the fucking setting. I've been keeping my composure while I'm constantly combusting, Everybody thinks I'm calm because they never hear the buzzing, There's a thousand fucking thoughts fighting over who is running, And they're all screaming at the same time, telling me I'm nothing. I got pressure in my temples, got resentment in my teeth, Got a voice inside my head that never fucking lets me sleep, Every word I never said became another piece of grief, Now I'm spitting out the shit that I was choking underneath. I don't wanna hear "relax." I don't wanna hear "move on." You weren't there when I was fighting Every thought from dusk till dawn. So don't tell me how to process Every fucking thing that's wrong. I've been holding back so long... **NOW I'M LETTING IT ALL OUT.** --- ### [PRE-CHORUS] *Melodic, building* I can't keep it inside... I can't keep playing nice... Every word I swallowed Is coming back to life. --- ### [CHORUS] # **I'M SCREAMING THROUGH MY TEETH!** 'Cause there's something underneath That I can't fucking keep concealed, Every wound I tried to seal Still refuses to fucking heal. # **I'M SCREAMING THROUGH MY TEETH!** Hear the rage beneath the beat, I've been choking on the truth Just to make everybody breathe. Now the silence has a voice... **AND IT'S FUCKING SCREAMING ME.** --- ### [VERSE 2] *Faster technical flow* I got venom in the syllables, the rhythm is relentless, Every sentence is a pressure point embedded in my presence, I'm aggressive with the message but the message has intention, I'm expressing every second of the shit I kept suppressed in. It's a mental overloading, emotional corrosion, Got me pacing in a room while I'm debating my devotion To the people that I love, while I'm afraid of their rejection, So I turn affection into tension, then mistake it for protection. That's the cycle. That's the sickness. That's the shit I gotta fix. Build a wall, become defensive, Then complain I'm feeling distant. Every time somebody gets close, I start questioning their motives. Every time somebody leaves, I tell myself I fucking chose it. I got pride that won't admit When I'm afraid of being broken. So I bury every feeling Till the burial is overflowing. Then it erupts. Like a fuse inside a room full of gasoline, Like a scream trapped in a throat that nobody has ever seen, Like a dream turning violent when reality intervenes, Like the person that I am fighting with the person that I've been. I don't need another mask. I don't need another excuse. I need to rip the fucking silence From the roots and let it loose. --- ### [CHORUS] # **I'M SCREAMING THROUGH MY TEETH!** 'Cause there's something underneath That I can't fucking keep concealed, Every wound I tried to seal Still refuses to fucking heal. # **I'M SCREAMING THROUGH MY TEETH!** Hear the rage beneath the beat, I've been choking on the truth Just to make everybody breathe. Now the silence has a voice... **AND IT'S FUCKING SCREAMING ME.** --- ### [BRIDGE] *Everything suddenly cuts.* Don't speak. Don't move. Don't breathe. Just listen. *Whispered layers begin stacking.* You're angry. You're bitter. You're broken. You're scared. You're tired. You're fucking exhausted. *Silence.* **GOOD.** *Guitar erupts.* **NOW SAY IT!** --- ### [VERSE 3] *Rapid-fire technical delivery* I'm angry that I wasted all the years I could've changed, I'm angry that I blamed everybody else for all my pain, I'm angry that I built a fucking fortress out of shame, Then got angry when nobody knew the password to my brain. I'm bitter at the people that abandoned me completely, I'm bitter at myself because I let it fucking eat me, I'm afraid of losing people, so I push them when they need me, Then I'm sitting in the aftermath pretending I don't feel it. I'm tired of explaining why I'm tired of explaining, Tired of fucking smiling when internally I'm breaking, Tired of every conversation turning into an interrogation, Tired of being told that my emotions need containment. So contain this. Every scream. Every dream. Every memory. Every scene. Every person. Every piece. Every wound. Every reason. Every word I couldn't speak. **HERE'S THE FUCKING RELEASE!** --- ### [BREAKDOWN] *Drums stop.* **BITE YOUR TONGUE.** *BOOM.* **SWALLOW THE PAIN.** *BOOM.* **BURY THE TRUTH.** *BOOM.* **DO IT AGAIN.** *Silence.* **NO MORE.**
