Knot In My Palm

[Verse 1] My jaw stays locked at nothing Still braced for the blow A shadow moves across the wall And my blood starts to go I hold my breath in daylight Like it owes me proof One hand on my hardwired heart One boot on the roof [Pre-Chorus] I look at my hands I look at the floor Nothing is charging the door I look at my hands I look at the floor I am not there anymore [Chorus] I am safe right here I am safe right here I take off the weight I take off the fear I am safe right here I am safe right here (stand down now) (stand down now) [Verse 2] Frayed ends on the table Rough cord in my palm I pull out every last slack Slow, steady, and calm Fiber by fiber, I weave it Burning my thumb as I go Tying my name to the center Tight where the split winds blow [Pre-Chorus] I look at my hands I look at the floor Nothing is charging the door I look at my hands I look at the floor I am not there anymore [Chorus] I am safe right here I am safe right here I take off the weight I take off the fear I am safe right here I am safe right here (stand down now) (stand down now) [Bridge] Pull the knot tight Feel it hold Old muscle memory Let it fold Armor to ash Metal to skin I was built to survive Now I let peace in [Final Chorus] I am safe right here I am safe right here I tear off the weight I let it disappear I am safe right here I am safe right here (stand down now) (stand down now) (bound it tight) (bound it tight)
