[Verse 1] I count the locks twice Before I leave the room Fold every answer Into a pocket full of proof The mirror catches Every place I hesitate I call it caution When I know it is a cage [Pre-Chorus] I keep rehearsing failure Till the words become my skin But the door is still unlocked And I can choose to step in [Chorus] I am more than the alarm More than every warning sign I can feel my hands still shake And still put them into mine I don't need to lose the fear I just need to move beside it Let it ride inside the car While I take the wheel and drive it [Verse 2] I leave the message With the blue light on the screen Read it ten times Till the meaning turns obscene A room of strangers And my pulse against my throat I bring my name in Like a match I have not struck [Pre-Chorus] All the exits look inviting When the center starts to spin But the floor is holding steady And I can choose to step in [Chorus] I am more than the alarm More than every warning sign I can feel my hands still shake And still put them into mine I don't need to lose the fear I just need to move beside it Let it ride inside the car While I take the wheel and drive it [Bridge] If I stumble, let it happen Let the silence hear the sound I was never built from certainty I was built from turning round One small breath, one open window One honest word I let escape The parts of me I kept concealed Are not the parts I have to hate [Final Chorus] I am more than the alarm More than every warning sign I can feel my hands still shake And still put them into mine I don't need to lose the fear I just need to move beside it Let it ride inside the car While I take the wheel and drive it [Outro] My hands still shake The door stays wide I bring the fear And step outside
