[Verse 1] I came in slick with the grain in my coat Backroom air, wet glass, gold on the chrome Bass line wobble like a truth I won’t hold You talk brave till the room turn cold I got scars with the shape of a grin Hardcore thoughts in a soft little skin I been cutting through fog with a blade made of jazz Needle on the record, I’m pulling you back Turn one face, then I turn two more Every lie got a key, every key got a door My words stay bent but they land like steel I make the night sign a deal (Yeah) (Watch it bend) (Watch it bend) [Pre-Chorus] Lean in close, hear the floorboards cry I don’t chase peace, I make it lie Bells in the dark and the strings go thin One more step and the wild comes in [Chorus] Bending souls, bending souls Grip so tight, let the whole thing fold Bending souls, bending souls Say my name and the room gets bold Bending souls, bending souls I twist the pain till it feels like gold [Verse 2] I know a face when it’s dressed in smoke I know a laugh when it’s laced with broke Seen good men fold for a pocket of heat Seen pride go limp in a velvet seat I don’t preach, I just paint that scene Mud on the cuffs and a mouth too clean Wah-wah crying like it missed its home While I carve out a path from a polished bone You came for the pulse, I came for the proof Got a live-wire grin and a hardwired truth If the room start spinning, that’s part of the plan I was born with a storm in my hands (Yeah) (Watch it bend) (Watch it bend) [Bridge] Let it sway Let it slip Let that dark little halo lift I bend low, then I rise again Same old fire in a different skin [Chorus] Bending souls, bending souls Grip so tight, let the whole thing fold Bending souls, bending souls Say my name and the room gets bold Bending souls, bending souls I twist the pain till it feels like gold
