Split Smile

Lyrics

Intro
Split smile
Split smile
Don’t blink
Don’t breathe
[whispered] I know you hear it

Verse 1
I wear your face at night
Like a mask with teeth
I learned your quiet habits
And they learned me
Tap-tap in the wall
That’s my little sign
I’m already under there
Behind your mind

Pre-Chorus
Count the cracks
In your calm
Finger by finger
I pull it apart
Soft voice
Hard wire
You fed the ghost
Now it wants your name

Chorus
Split smile, split smile
I’m inside
Split smile, split smile
You can’t hide
Say it low
Say it right
Split smile
All night

Verse 2
Your thoughts come folded
Like paper cuts
I open them slow
Then I stitch them up
Footsteps in the hallway
But the house stands still
Every lock you trusted
I already killed

Pre-Chorus
Count the cracks
In your calm
Finger by finger
I pull it apart
Soft voice
Hard wire
You fed the ghost
Now it wants your name

Chorus
Split smile, split smile
I’m inside
Split smile, split smile
You can’t hide
Say it low
Say it right
Split smile
All night

Breakdown
Kneel
Then crawl
I made the shape of you
From a jaw full of smoke
From a chest full of nails
Look at me now
Look at me now
I’m the little break
In the back of your mouth

Verse 3
You called me sleep
I called it a door
You said “leave me alone”
I came back for more
Every prayer you swallowed
Turned to static foam
Now your own reflection
Won’t let you go home

Bridge
When the room gets narrow
I get wide
When you say my name
I split your pride
One for the mirror
One for the skin
One for the thing
That crawls within

Chorus
Split smile, split smile
I’m inside
Split smile, split smile
You can’t hide
Say it low
Say it right
Split smile
All night

Breakdown
Again
Again
Say it
Say it
Split
Smile
Split
Smile

Outro
Split smile
No sleep
Split smile
No peace
[whispered] I know you hear it
Split smile
Just breathe
