[Verse 1] You came with a mouth full of warnings Pinned every door with your name I learned to sleep beside the silence And called that living safe [Pre-Chorus] But I found the seam in the armor A loose thread under the tongue You built your throne out of trembling Now watch what I've become [Chorus] I won't feed the thing that follows I won't bow when it bares its teeth Take your bite out of the air around me You don't get the best of me I can feel the lock giving I can hear the chain come undone You can keep your sharpened kingdom I'm the one you can't outrun [Verse 2] I put your letters in the furnace Watched the ink turn into smoke Every promise dressed as danger Every threat that lost its cloak [Pre-Chorus] Now the room is getting wider Now the floor is holding still You mistook my quiet for surrender You never knew my will [Chorus] I won't feed the thing that follows I won't bow when it bares its teeth Take your bite out of the air around me You don't get the best of me I can feel the lock giving I can hear the chain come undone You can keep your sharpened kingdom I'm the one you can't outrun [Bridge] No more offering my heartbeat No more sleeping on the floor If you reach for what is mine now You will find an open door [Final Chorus] I won't feed the thing that follows I won't bow when it bares its teeth Take your bite out of the air around me You don't get the best of me I can feel the lock giving I can hear the chain come undone You can keep your sharpened kingdom I'm the one you can't outrun [Outro] The fear still knows my doorway But it doesn't live here now
