Penthouse Claws
Lyrics
Intro
Room on lock
Curtains drawn low
Your name on my mouth
Like a loaded note
I let you in
Then I knew the cost
Now the hall sounds thin
And the keys are lost
Verse 1
You came in slow, black coat, clean hands
Told me I was safe in your plans
Your eyes said stay, your smile said take
I wore your touch like a bad mistake
You left a mark on the edge of my throat
Soft at first, then it started to show
I heard your laugh through the bathroom wall
Like a warning shot in a velvet hall
You kept my phone face down, no light
Kept my window shut all night
I should've run when you said my name
Now the air in here feels the same
Pre-Chorus
I feel it, I feel it
Your heat turns cold
I see it, I see it
You won't let go
One more word and I might break
One wrong move and I can't stay
Chorus
Mine, mine, say it again
Mine, mine, under my skin
You don't love me, you want control
Mine, mine, you took my soul
Mine, mine, I bite back now
Mine, mine, I don't back down
Verse 2
I slipped out quiet through the service door
Barefoot on marble, heart on war
Now I'm up high with a view of the rain
Glass all around and a cleaner name
Fresh sheets, cold ice, no one inside
Just me and the burn I refuse to hide
I scrub your scent from my collarbone
Pour red over ice, leave the glass alone
You call my line, I let it ring
Let your silence crawl and sting
I know the game, I know your type
You want a cage, I want the light
Pre-Chorus
I feel it, I feel it
The chase is on
I see it, I see it
But I won't fall
One more step and I cut the thread
One last look and I'm gone ahead
Chorus
Mine, mine, say it again
Mine, mine, under my skin
You don't love me, you want control
Mine, mine, you took my soul
Mine, mine, I bite back now
Mine, mine, I don't back down
Bridge
Hands off
I'm not your safe place
I'm not your chain
I was sweet once
Now I know my shape
I can burn clean
I can walk away
Hear that door close?
That's me today
Final Chorus
Mine, mine, say it again
Mine, mine, under my skin
You don't love me, you want control
Mine, mine, you took my soul
Mine, mine, I bite back now
Mine, mine, I don't back down
Mine, mine, watch me go
Mine, mine, I own this no more
