[Intro] [low vocal register, whispered] ... I can taste the fear on my tongue Every thought stripped down to one If this is it If this is all I get Let it hit Let it hit ... .../ [Verse 1] Red digits on the dash Heart thump out the glass Sweat runs Hands shake Whole world about to crack Sirens in the distance Teeth grit Slow blink Every thought a splinter Every second might sink [Pre-Chorus] Air gets heavy Almost sweet Like metal Like heat You taste the edge Tongue on the teeth [Chorus] Last breath before ecstasy Hold it in Hold it in Then release Bass hits And it’s blasphemy Body breaks But the spirit gets free Last breath before ecstasy Every nerve screaming in the deep Close your eyes like a prophecy Let it burn Let it burn through the seams [Verse 2] Pulse climbs Room bends Walls crawl Time bends Jaw lock Slow grin You’re right at the rim Flash frames White light Every wound Every fight All your ghosts in a line Nodding heads in the night [Pre-Chorus] Chest so tight it feels holy You rise in the wreckage slowly One more blink Then you’re falling [Chorus] Last breath before ecstasy Hold it in Hold it in Then release Bass hits And it’s blasphemy Body breaks But the spirit gets free Last breath before ecstasy Every nerve screaming in the deep Close your eyes like a prophecy Let it burn Let it burn through the seams [Bridge] [low vocal register] This is the drop This is the cut This is that second Where nothing’s enough [whispered vocals] Inhale the fear Exhale the skin When the floor disappears You finally begin [crescendo] [Chorus] Last breath before ecstasy Hold it in Hold it in Then release Bass hits And it’s blasphemy Body breaks But the spirit gets free Last breath before ecstasy Every nerve screaming in the deep Close your eyes like a prophecy Let it burn Let it burn through the seams
