Verse 1 (YELLED / SCREAMED-TALKED) There’s something pacing in my head, it never sits, it never sleeps. It learns the shape of what I fear and wears it underneath my teeth. I try to talk it down sometimes, but it already knows my name. It twists the edges of my thoughts and leaves them out of frame. Pre-Chorus I swear I’m fine until I’m not, until the edges start to slip… and everything I tried to hold just fractures in my grip. Chorus Something’s living behind my teeth, and it speaks when I don’t try. Pulling words I never meant from somewhere I can’t hide. And I don’t know if it’s me anymore or just what I became… but every time I try to breathe it out it learns my shape again. Verse 2 (YELLED / SCREAMED-TALKED) My reflection doesn’t match the timing of my movements now. It hesitates a second late like it’s trying to figure how. Every calm I fake outside gets shredded in my chest. And I can’t tell if I’m awake or just better at the mess. Pre-Chorus It feels like something’s waiting right behind my eyes… not alive enough to leave me, not dead enough to die. Chorus Something’s living behind my teeth, and it speaks when I don’t try. Pulling words I never meant from somewhere I can’t hide. And I don’t know if it’s me anymore or just what I became… but every time I try to breathe it out it learns my shape again.
