[Intro] (whisper) You hear that? That ain’t “anxiety.” That’s my fucking engine. [Verse 1] Teeth on edge, I bite the wire Brain on boil but I’m “fine” like a liar Hands in fists, still smile for the picture Whole damn chest feels ready to rupture Every “how you been?” feels fake as shit Like small talk’s a cage and I’m stuck in it I don’t “cope,” I stack it and swallow Then act surprised when the room goes hollow [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need saving I need silence But silence keeps turning into fucking sirens [Chorus] I got knuckles in the static, jaw locked, no pity Head full of thunder in a room too pretty Say “relax” like that fixes the fracture Motherfucker, I don’t bend, I bite back harder I’m not broken, I’m braced for impact You want truth? Stand where I’m at Knuckles in the static, cold, clean, exact I don’t snap, I crack [Verse 2] I don’t pray, I pace the floor Count the steps, count the reasons I’m sure Every laugh got a hook in it Every “love” got a look in it Trust is glass and I juggle that shit Drop one thought and I’m done with it So I keep it mean, keep it minimal Keep my heart in a lead-lined interval [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need saving I need focus But focus keeps turning into fucking ghosts [Chorus] I got knuckles in the static, jaw locked, no pity Head full of thunder in a room too pretty Say “relax” like that fixes the fracture Motherfucker, I don’t bend, I bite back harder I’m not broken, I’m braced for impact You want truth? Stand where I’m at Knuckles in the static, cold, clean, exact I don’t snap, I crack [Bridge / Spoken] (close-mic, pissed) Don’t call it “anger.” It’s a boundary with teeth. It’s the part of me that learned to breathe in fucking debris. [Breakdown] (chanted, stompy) Back up, back up, don’t touch the spark Back up, back up, I see in the dark Back up, back up, I’m done being “nice” I paid my calm with a thousand little fights [Breakdown 2] (shouted, call-and-response) WHO’S IN MY HEAD? (ME!) WHO WON’T SHUT UP? (ME!) WHO KEEPS IT COOL? (ME!) WHO’S READY TO FUCK IT UP? (ME!) [Final Chorus] Knuckles in the static, jaw locked, no pity Heart still beating but it ain’t forgiving Say “relax” like that fixes the fracture Motherfucker, I don’t bend, I bite back harder I’m not broken, I’m built for the fallback You want truth? Stand where I’m at Knuckles in the static, cold, clean, exact I don’t snap I crack [Outro] (whisper) Hear it now? Good. Stay the fuck back.
