[Intro] Hold your breath, count the teeth The machine is underneath [Verse 1 - Clean] I keep the receipt from the day I broke Folded in four inside my coat Every promise had a serial code Every doorway asked what I owed [Pre-Chorus - Clean] But the lock gives way When I stop asking why [Chorus - Aggressive] Bite down, break rank Pull the pin, drain the tank No crown, no chain I am the pressure in the frame Bite down, stand tall Let the false walls take the fall No saint, no slave I choose the shape I’m meant to make [Verse 2 - Clean] There’s a red mark under the paint A little proof that the building ain’t safe I hear your footsteps behind the wall You sound like me before the fall [Pre-Chorus - Clean] Now the lock gives way And I don’t need to know why [Chorus - Aggressive] Bite down, break rank Pull the pin, drain the tank No crown, no chain I am the pressure in the frame Bite down, stand tall Let the false walls take the fall No saint, no slave I choose the shape I’m meant to make [Bridge - Ambient Clean] If I surrender, let it be To the truth that keeps choosing me The quiet isn’t weakness now It is the room beneath the sound [Breakdown - Aggressive] Cut the feed Kill the signal Leave the room Keep the ritual Cut the feed Kill the signal I was built To be difficult [Final Chorus - Aggressive with Clean Counterline] Bite down, break rank Pull the pin, drain the tank No crown, no chain I am the pressure in the frame Bite down, stand tall Let the false walls take the fall No saint, no slave I choose the shape I’m meant to make [Outro - Clean] The red mark stays beneath the paint I know what breaks, and what remains
