Twitchy Trigger Finger

Lyrics

Intro
Tick... tick...
I’m in the frame
Skin on the wire
Eye on the flame

Verse 1
I move like a glitch in the hall
Bare feet, dead weight, no call
Your door got dents from my name
I leave that mark on the frame

Cold grin, teeth like a blade
Hands shake when the choice gets made
I don’t sleep, I wait
In the dark where the weak ones break

Your fear got a flavor I know
Sweet like rust in the throat
I see you count every breath
I like it better when you’re less

Pre-Chorus
Say my name low
Then say it again
Pulse on the wall
Let the static begin

I’m right there
Where the corner bends
Too close now
To pretend

Chorus
Twitchy trigger finger
Twitchy trigger finger
Don’t blink, don’t linger
Twitchy trigger finger

Say it again
Say it again
Twitchy trigger finger
Twitchy trigger finger

Verse 2
I got a laugh with no lungs
Got a tongue made of sparks and sums
I read your face like a code
Then I fold it up and reload

Every little lie you wear
Peels off when I stare
You keep trying to pray it down
But the room keeps spinning round

Knuckles white, temple hot
I’m the itch you forgot
I’m the knock in the bone
I’m the hand on the throne

Pre-Chorus
Say my name low
Then say it again
Pulse on the wall
Let the static begin

I’m right there
Where the corner bends
Too close now
To pretend

Chorus
Twitchy trigger finger
Twitchy trigger finger
Don’t blink, don’t linger
Twitchy trigger finger

Say it again
Say it again
Twitchy trigger finger
Twitchy trigger finger

Bridge
Shh...
Hear that?
That’s the space between your thoughts
That’s where I live

You built the cage
I learned the key
Now your own shadow
Won’t let you leave

Breakdown
Click
Clack
Back up

Twitchy
Twitchy
Trigger finger

Black out
Snap back
I’m still there

Verse 3
Now the floor feels thin as glass
Every step you take won’t last
I’m the shape in the side-eye glance
The wrong pulse in your ambulance

You can run, but the walls lean in
You can hide, but I’m under your skin
I don’t knock, I don’t plead
I just grow where the panic feeds

One more breath, one more lie
One more twitch in the dead of night
You hear me close, then I’m gone
Then I’m back when the lights come on

Chorus
Twitchy trigger finger
Twitchy trigger finger
Don’t blink, don’t linger
Twitchy trigger finger

Say it again
Say it again
Twitchy trigger finger
Twitchy trigger finger

Outro
Tick... tick...
I’m in the frame
Skin on the wire
Eye on the flame
