TITLE: UNDER MY TEETH (VERSE 1 — 4/4) There’s a tremor in my chest I can’t shake out A low hum rising like it wants to break out I keep my voice tight, held under my teeth But the pressure keeps building underneath (PRE-CHORUS — 7/4) Every heartbeat hits like static coiled and sharp right under my skin (CHORUS — 4/4) I’m holding it in, holding it down But the fire keeps pushing around Every breath feels close to a spark Lighting up the edges of the dark I’m trying to stay steady, stay still But the voltage bends to its will And I can feel the fracture begin Right under my skin (VERSE 2 — 6/4) Your words hit the air like a metal strike Cold flash, sharp edge, something I don’t like I swallow the heat, but it burns on the way A quiet fury I can’t keep at bay (PRE-CHORUS — 7/4) Every heartbeat hits like static coiled and sharp right under my skin (CHORUS — 4/4) I’m holding it in, holding it down But the fire keeps pushing around Every breath feels close to a spark Lighting up the edges of the dark I’m trying to stay steady, stay still But the voltage bends to its will And I can feel the fracture begin Right under my skin (BRIDGE — 6/4) I bite down hard just to stay whole but the pressure keeps rising and the cracks start singing (FINAL CHORUS — 4/4) I’m holding it in, holding it down But the fire keeps pushing around And I can’t keep the edges contained When the pulse runs wild through my veins I’m trying to stay steady, stay still But the voltage bends to its will And I can feel the break coming in Right under my skin
