[Verse 1] When I open up, I split like glass in a sink Say one real thing then I sink, then I sink I talk to you but it comes back mean Like my throat got hands and it drags me beneath I show my chest and it shows me scars Every truth I drop hits the floor too hard My own mouth turns into a locked-up room I hear my heart pace like it knows the doom (know the doom) I give you my name and it burns in the air I reach for a light but it’s already gone there [Pre-Chorus] Twenty-five floors down and I still fall more Every good thing I say comes back with a war I try to be clean I try to be still But the dark in me listens and learns my will [Chorus] My own darkness (my own darkness) My own hell (my own hell) I let it out and it rings that bell My own darkness (my own darkness) No place to hide (no place to hide) Everything ends bad when I open wide [Verse 2] I used to think talking might save me Now every soft word feels like it weighs me I hand you the bruise and it turns to smoke I hand you the truth and it turns to choke I’ve got twenty-five levels of falling through Every door I open brings a colder you And I hate that part that begs to be seen Then hates the blood when it leaves a sheen (when it leaves a sheen) So I bite my tongue till it shakes in my jaw ’Cause the last time I trusted I lost what I was [Pre-Chorus] Twenty-five floors down and I still fall more Every good thing I say comes back with a war I try to be clean I try to be still But the dark in me listens and learns my will [Chorus] My own darkness (my own darkness) My own hell (my own hell) I let it out and it rings that bell My own darkness (my own darkness) No place to hide (no place to hide) Everything ends bad when I open wide [Bridge] If I crack the seal I don’t feel relief I just see my fear wearing my face beneath I keep one hand up like I’m begging the storm ’Cause the thing I call home is the thing that breaks warm (breaks warm) So I stay half-shut with the hurt on loop If I tell the whole truth I might fall right through [Final Chorus] My own darkness (my own darkness) My own hell (my own hell) I let it out and it rings that bell My own darkness (my own darkness) No place to hide (no place to hide) Everything ends bad when I open wide My own darkness (my own darkness) Twenty-five floors (twenty-five floors) I open up and it shuts down more
