[Verse 1]
You said
"Relax
It’s not that deep"
While I'm drowning in the backseat
You’re scrolling through another day
I’m stuck replaying every word you never say
[Pre-Chorus]
I bit my tongue till it bled
Just to keep your comfort fed
You call it love
I call it chains
I’m sick of smiling through the strain (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’d rather take a palm straight to the face
Than be left back in this place
Take a bullet to the brain
Would you ever even feel the same?
If I disappeared without a trace
Would it even make your heartbeat race?
I’d rather take a palm straight to the face
Than be left back in this place (hey)
[Verse 2]
You make a joke
I play along
Cheap applause for something wrong
You say I’m “lucky just to stay”
Funny how your lucky charm just rots away
[Pre-Chorus]
You twist the knife
Call it fun
I flinch and say
“yeah
That’s a good one”
You raise your glass
I raise my guard
You never notice all the scars
[Chorus]
I’d rather take a palm straight to the face
Than be left back in this place
Take a bullet to the brain
Would you ever even feel the same?
If I disappeared without a trace
Would it even make your heartbeat race?
I’d rather take a palm straight to the face
Than be left back in this place
[Bridge]
[Drums and bass drop to a tense
Choked groove]
Hit me
Hurt me
At least I know you see me
Break me
Shake me
Anything but just erase me (woah)
[Chorus]
I’d rather take a palm straight to the face
Than be left back in this place
Take a bullet to the brain
Would you ever even feel the same?
If I disappeared without a trace
Would it even make your heartbeat race?
I’d rather take a palm straight to the face
Than die slow in this place
