Frankenstein (Acoustic Sessions)

[Verse 1] I was raised on static from the basement Hand-me-down amp, cracked case, bent strings Mom cried to slow songs in the kitchen Dad yelled along to summer fling hits [Pre-Chorus] Now my head’s like a hallway, doors all slam Every rhythm pulling at my hands Which one do I follow when I stand on stage Every flavor fighting in the same old cage [Chorus] I’m a Frankenstein heart, stitched from every sound Soft word, hard scream, all crashing around If I tear myself apart, I’m still the same kid Every verse, every rhythm I’m the sum of what I did [Verse 2] Friends in leather jackets, friends in glitter Mixtape wars in the parking lot nights One taught me rage, one taught me shivers Both burned their names in my spine [Bridge] [Band drops to soft ballad piano and voice] Some days I just want a slow confession Just two chords and a trembling hand Then the thunder hits my chest like a question Do you feel more alive when you barely stand? [Rap Break] Yeah, I grew up on the hand-clap chants Old box fan and a broke house plant Dreams in a notebook, ink on my sleeve Didn’t fit the mold so I learned to weave All these styles in a tight-knit thread Got hooks in my heart, got noise in my head If I gotta choose, then I choose this mix Built from every broken little misfit riff (hey!) [Chorus] I’m a Frankenstein heart, stitched from every sound Soft word, hard scream, all crashing around If I tear myself apart, I’m still the same kid Every verse, every rhythm I’m the sum of what I did [Chorus] I’m a Frankenstein heart, let the colors clash Sad song, wild shout, same nervous laugh If I fall apart onstage, I’ll still be this Every bruise, every rhythm I’m a beautiful glitch (oh yeah)
