Teeth In The Wire

[Verse 1]

Every promise that you made me

Came tied to a tripwire

You called it trust

Called it healing

I call it feeding the fire

You twist my name into barbed jokes

Laugh while I swallow the bile

You preach about "breaking cycles"

While you sharpen your smile

[Chorus]

I won't bleed for you again

Rip your claws out of my skin (out of my skin)

You want love

You want a victim

Pick one—'cause I won't give in

You burn bridges

Call it truth

Then choke on all your alibis

I won't bleed for you again

This is where your power dies

[Verse 2]

Every "sorry" is a weapon

Loaded with a pretty excuse

You dress control up as caring

Then pull the string till it bruises

You keep a graveyard of fragments

Then pull the string till it bruises

You keep a graveyard of fragments

Souvenirs under your tongue

I dug myself out of your coffin

Now watch me black out the sun (hey!)

[Bridge]

You want me

On my knees

Bite my tongue

Beg you please

I want you

To finally see

You're the wound

Not the remedy

[Chorus]

I won't bleed for you again

Rip your claws out of my skin (out of my skin)

You want love

You want a victim

Pick one—'cause I won't give in

You burn bridges

Call it truth

Then choke on all your alibis

I won't bleed for you again

This is where your power dies
