[Verse 1] Coffee gone cold on the table Bills in a pile like a threat Phone face down on the counter Can’t even look at it yet Breath stuck high in my rib cage Hands won’t answer my brain Every small thing feels fatal Every soft sound like a train [Chorus] I’m chewing my teeth on the wire Hanging by threads in the dark Heart like a stalled-out engine Won’t turn Just tears apart If I go down Will anyone notice? If I burn out Will anyone care? I’m screaming for help in a whisper And it vanishes into the air (into the air) [Verse 2] Clock on the wall keeps on laughing Second hand scratching my skull Headlines bleed through the curtain Whole world heavy and dull I pace grooves into the carpet Like a ghost wearing me thin Door looks simple I can’t touch it Can’t tell where I end Where I begin [Chorus] I’m chewing my teeth on the wire Hanging by threads in the dark Heart like a stalled-out engine Won’t turn Just tears apart If I go down Will anyone notice? If I burn out Will anyone care? I’m screaming for help in a whisper And it vanishes into the air (oh, into the air) [Bridge] You say it’s “just in your head” But my chest is a locked-room crime Foot stuck hard on the brake As the road keeps eating time Is there something past this ceiling? Is there something past this night? I keep reaching for a handle On a door that’s shut too tight (too tight) [Chorus] I’m chewing my teeth on the wire Hanging by threads in the dark Heart like a stalled-out engine Won’t turn Just tears apart If I go down Will anyone notice? If I burn out Will anyone care? I’m screaming for help in a whisper And it vanishes into the air [Outro] Hold on Hold on To the flicker To the spark If I’m still here in the morning Was I ever gone in the dark?
