Lyrics

[Intro]

[low vocal register]

Thin bow on a shaking string

Candles crawling up the walls

Echo in an empty hall

I feel it crawling in

[Verse 1]

Black nails in my breathing

Every thought a sharpened claw

Every "what if" like a vulture

Circling what it wants to gnaw

Hands cold

Chest burning

Room still

But my pulse runs wild

Mirror shows a stranger

Half a monster

Half a child

[Chorus]

Heart like a war drum

War drum

Beating on my ribs like it's calling for blood

Shadows on the ceiling

Screaming I'm done

But I raise my fist

I won't let it flood

Heart like a war drum

War drum

If it wants a battle

Then I won't run

Trembling

Broken

Barely holding on

I turn that terror into a battle song

[Verse 2]

Crowds sound like a siren

Even quiet feels too loud

Every future feels like falling

From the edges of a cloud

But I mark each breath like tally marks

On the walls inside my skull

Every panic is a prophecy

I learn to tear apart and dull

[Bridge]

[whispered vocals]

You are not the screaming in your veins

You are not the storm behind your eyes

You are more than all the cruel refrains

You're the one who stands back up

[build] every time you rise

[crescendo]

Let it shake you

But it won't break you

Won't unmake you

Hold the line

One step

Then one more

Bare teeth to the beast at the door

[Chorus]
