[Verse 1] I don't pray, I pace jaw set, clean face same old ghost in a new small place name on my tongue but it taste like lace I was built from a bruise and a shrug little dark spark in a too-big glove heart talk tough, then it hiccup low who am I when the lights all go? [Pre-Chorus] Clock bend, step lean I arrive in between too fast, too slow watch me peel, watch me glow [Chorus] What am I if I don't perform? just static in a human form wound tight, but I don't explode I fold time into the road What am I when the crowd goes mute? still a pulse in a busted suit I chase myself through the long unknown and call the fracture home [Verse 2] Machine mouth, I spit little sparks front-foot drag in the after dark rubato lungs, I talk in darts exhale knives from the aching parts If I outrun the fear, is it still mine? if I slow down, do I lose the line? all this skin, all this wire still not sure what I desire [Bridge] Spin me— spin me— no, not the same I want the shape I want the flame I was here I was not I am the seam between the shots [Chorus] What am I if I don't perform? just static in a human form wound tight, but I don't explode I fold time into the road What am I when the crowd goes mute? still a pulse in a busted suit I chase myself through the long unknown and call the fracture home [Outro] Say my name like you mean the ache I am the speed, I am the break I am the girl with the sideways grin gone in a blink then back again
