[Verse 1] I dug in deep tonight Just to feel a sign Red on my fingertips Red on the floorboards I laughed at the mirror Till it split my face Now the room keeps breathing Like it knows my name [Pre-Chorus] Hold me down Don’t let me drift I made this wound And I can’t forget Hear that low growl Under my skin It keeps on calling It wants me in [Chorus] Red under nail Red under nail I let it show I let it fail Red under nail Red under nail I touched the dark And now it stays (Stay, stay) (Under nail) (Stay, stay) (I’m still here) [Verse 2] The sink was a chapel Cold and white I washed and washed But the stain won’t hide Your voice in the doorway Like a cracked bell tone Said, “Come back, love” But I stayed alone [Pre-Chorus] Hold me down Don’t let me drift I made this wound And I can’t forget Hear that low growl Under my skin It keeps on calling It wants me in [Chorus] Red under nail Red under nail I let it show I let it fail Red under nail Red under nail I touched the dark And now it stays (Stay, stay) (Under nail) (Stay, stay) (I’m still here) [Bridge] If I name the hurt Does it lose its teeth? If I feed the night Will it let me sleep? The organ swells Like a closing door I’m not made of stone But I’m not breaking more [Final Chorus] Red under nail Red under nail I let it show I let it fail Red under nail Red under nail I touched the dark And now it stays Red under nail Red under nail Not dead yet Not gone away (Stay, stay) (Under nail) (Stay, stay) (I’m still here)
