[Verse 1]
Boots on the floorboards
Glass in the doorway
Rations on the counter
Maps in the hallway
Sirens in my ribcage
Breath tastes like copper
Names on a dog tag
prayers in a locker
You drew a target
Right on my hometown
Turned our playground
Into a ghost ground
I keep my terror
Folded in my sleeve
Smile in the smoke
Bleeding through my teeth
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear that tick-tick under my skin?
Every little crack where the fault lines spin
You pushed too far, now the ground gon’ break
Step a little closer, feel the world vibrate
[Chorus]
I’m an earthquake
Feel the floor shake when I walk in (walk in)
Every heartbreak
Stacked like bricks that I’m dropping (dropping)
You made a war outta me
Now the sky’s gonna split when I breathe
I’m an earthquake
Say my name and the walls cave in
(Whoa-oh, earthquake)
Shout my name and the walls cave in
(Whoa-oh, earthquake)
Say it once, watch the world give in
[Verse 2]
Ink on the war plans
Drawn in the back room
You call it strategy
I call it last moves
You build your empire
Up on our front lawn
I plant a small seed
Wait for the ground yawns
March through the blackout
Eyes on the red flare
You send your vultures
We send a blank stare
You want surrender
I want the first swing
You brought your soldiers
I brought a fault ring
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear that tick-tick under my skin?
Every little crack where the fault lines spin
You lit a fuse that you can’t unmake
Lean a little closer, feel the core awake
[Chorus]
I’m an earthquake
Feel the floor shake when I walk in (walk in)
Every heartbreak
Stacked like bricks that I’m dropping (dropping)
You made a war outta me
Now the sky’s gonna split when I breathe
I’m an earthquake
Say my name and the walls cave in
(Whoa-oh, earthquake)
Shout my name and the walls cave in
(Whoa-oh, earthquake)
Say it once, watch the world give in
[Bridge]
Hands up high like you’re holding the line (hey!)
Chest to chest in the smoke and the sirens
If we fall, then we fall like giants
Every step we take starts a riot
Hands up high, let the dead awake (hey!)
From the cracks that your cronies made
If we break, then the world remakes
On the sound of a million quakes
[Chorus]
I’m an earthquake
Feel the floor shake when I walk in (walk in)
Every heartbreak
Stacked like bricks that I’m dropping (dropping)
You made a war outta me
Now the sky’s gonna split when I breathe
I’m an earthquake
Say my name and the walls cave in
(Whoa-oh, earthquake)
Shout my name and the walls cave in
(Whoa-oh, earthquake)
Say it once, watch the world give in
