[Verse 1] Clock on the wall Chewing on seconds Nails in my mouth Biting through questions Heart doing laps Around my ribs Breath in a paper bag That always rips [Chorus] Got teeth on the inside Chewing through my calm Every little what-if Setting off the alarm Head full of thunder Hands that always shake (I’m not okay, I’m not okay) And I don't know How much more I can take [Verse 2] Texts left on read I write them again Replay every word Til it bends Til it bends Stare at the ceiling Til it starts to spin Every silent phone Feels like a siren [Chorus] Got teeth on the inside Chewing through my calm Every little what-if Setting off the alarm Head full of thunder Hands that always shake (I’m not okay, I’m not okay) And I don't know How much more I can take [Bridge] [Band drops to drums and bass Guitars chiming lightly] If I scream it out Will it lose its shape? If I spill it all Will it flood this place? Backing voices in my head Sound just like my friends (female backing: "we're right here, we're right here") But the echo never ends [Chorus] Got teeth on the inside Chewing through my calm Every little what-if Setting off the alarm Head full of thunder Hands that always shake (Female backing: "you're okay, you're okay") I’m singing through the static Til the walls all break Got teeth on the inside But I won’t let them win (Female backing: "breathe in, breathe out") I'll wear every scar On the outside of my skin
