Freezing Point

[Intro] I was never cold I was holding it together [Verse — rapped] Calm one, steady one, the one who's got it planned Ask me how I'm doing, watch me shake your hand Never lose control, never make a scene Built myself a surface, kept it smooth and clean Learned to freeze it early, learned to hold it still Learned that quiet reads as strength if you've got the skill Ninety-nine winters, I could run them in my sleep Then you walked in warm and the whole thing wouldn't keep Precision was the armor, silence was the art Didn't think that you could get up under the guard Every wall I built, I built it brick by brick Now the whole thing's melting and I can't stop it quick [Pre-Chorus] Pressure under the surface Stillness starts to give Everything frozen Is waiting to live [Chorus] There's a freezing point (Under. Under.) And I'm one degree under Hold me to the light (Under. Under.) Hear the ice go under All of this control Just a slow way to shatter I was never cold I was holding it together (One degree, one degree under) [Verse — rapped] People think the quiet ones don't feel a thing Think the calm is empty, think the still don't sting Wore the frost so long I forgot it was a mask Never had to answer 'cause nobody thought to ask Practiced every word before I'd let it show Kept the temperature low so the feeling couldn't grow But there's water moving underneath the ice I'm on Something built to hold is something built to be gone Everybody's got a version of the freeze Mine just wears it better, mine just holds the peace Same storm, different weather, same denial Same heart running cold to keep it running a while [Pre-Chorus] Pressure under the surface Stillness starts to give Everything frozen Is waiting to live [Chorus] There's a freezing point (Under. Under.) And I'm one degree under Hold me to the light (Under. Under.) Hear the ice go under All of this control Just a slow way to shatter I was never cold I was holding it together [Bridge] Quiet, quiet Feel it under the floor One degree warmer And I'm ice no more [Final Chorus] There's a freezing point (Under. Under.) And I'm one degree under Hold me to the light (Under. Under.) Hear the ice go under All of this control Just a slow way to shatter I was never cold I was holding it together (One degree, one degree under)
