[Verse 1] Only give it back when the numbers match. Don't be a fool, don't be a mark. Don't let 'em catch you in the dark. We spill our guts way too fast, Handing out secrets like they’re built to last, Then we’re caught off guard, stripped and bare. My head’s screaming "leave," but I’m still here, Clinging to the warmth of a dead atmosphere. If this is a spell, then it’s a cheap one, But it kept me standing when the damage was done. [Pre-Chorus] So write it out. Every debt, every lie. Fold the paper, watch the ink fry. Let it curl, let it turn to ash, Trading the ghost for a cold hard crash. [Chorus] Cut the tether, break the bond. This toxic weight has been held too long. Maybe it’s nothing, maybe it’s a trap, But I’m done with the high and the inevitable collapse. Yeah, I’m done with the high of holding on. [Verse 2] You’re back in that war, pacing the floor, Same four walls, hearing your name through the door. Remember those nights? Those streetlights? Those promises are just stains now, shadows and spite. I struck a match just to see what was left, But all I found was a history of theft. It’s not magic, it’s just a bad habit, Watching the dreams we made get slaughtered by the minute. [Bridge] So I’m crawling through the sewers, cracking a grin, Looking up at the stars and seeing the rot within. I’m used to the filth, the brothers underground, I thought I’d hit the bottom—until you came around. You showed me a basement beneath the floor, A level of low I hadn't seen before. [Chorus] Cut the tether, break the bond. This toxic weight has been held too long. Maybe it’s nothing, maybe it’s a trap, But I’m done with the high and the inevitable collapse. [Outro] And when the Earth is swallowed, I’ll be right here. Watching it die. No shame, no fear. I’m stayin’ down here. I’m stayin’ down here. Stayin’ down here. Because "holding on" to you is just a slow-motion suicide.
