[Verse 1] "Get on your knees," she says at my reach. No rage in her voice, just frost in the speech. I fold to the floor, like paper under glass. Her calm is a blade that makes the seconds pass. [Fifteen] that’s the number I wear. Fifteen times my collar was bare. [Pre-Chorus] Last year I shook like a cracked school bell. Now I stand still and I know it too well. I used to be good. I used to be clean. Now the hallways watch like a judge in a screen. [Chorus] Fifteen times again (I forgot the pin) Fifteen times again and I let it in Get on your knees (knees, knees) Say it like law with no fury, please Fifteen times again I go pale, then still Fifteen times again and I know I will [Verse 2] Elementary days, I wore it straight. Middle school mornings, I never came late. Now every blazer feels wrong on my skin. A tiny lost metal can make me cave in. I check my shirt and I check my breath. That little round badge feels bigger than death. [Pre-Chorus] Last year I shook like a cracked school bell. Now I stand still and I know it too well. I used to be good. I used to be seen. Now the rule sits heavy between the seams. [Chorus] Fifteen times again (I forgot the pin) Fifteen times again and I let it in Get on your knees (knees, knees) Say it like law with no fury, please Fifteen times again I go pale, then still Fifteen times again and I know I will [Bridge] The first time my hands were ice. The first time I paid the price. Now I am quiet. Now I don’t move. Not brave. Not broken. Just learning the groove. [Breakdown] Pinless. Pinned down. Pinless. No sound. Pinless. Pinned down. Pinless. Stay down. [Final Chorus] Fifteen times again (I forgot the pin) Fifteen times again and I let it in Get on your knees (knees, knees) Say it like law with no fury, please Fifteen times again I go pale, then still Fifteen times again I know I will Fifteen times again (I forgot the pin) Fifteen times again and I let it in
