Fuse in My Teeth

Lyrics

Intro
Cold room. Locked jaw.
A needle in the dark.
I hear the door breathe.
I hear the door breathe.
whispered
Don’t look at me like that.

Verse 1
My name on a steel tag
scraped across the floor
I count the little dents
in the skin of the door
You stand in the mirror
with my face on
hands like a warning
eyes that won’t stay gone

Pre-Chorus
It starts in the teeth
It climbs the spine
The walls lean in
and call me mine
One wrong blink
one wrong move
then the whole machine
turns me loose

Chorus
High Voltage
cut me open
High Voltage
let it show
High Voltage
say my name now
High Voltage
and watch me glow

Verse 2
I fed the static
all my worst days
watched it crawl back
in a blue-lit haze
The clock keeps chewing
through my skin
every old fear
wants back in

Pre-Chorus
It starts in the teeth
It climbs the spine
The walls lean in
and call me mine
One wrong blink
one wrong move
then the whole machine
turns me loose

Chorus
High Voltage
cut me open
High Voltage
let it show
High Voltage
say my name now
High Voltage
and watch me glow

Breakdown
Feed me the fracture
feed me the fire
I wear the panic
like barbed-wire choir
Low and slow
I split apart
cold hands shaking
inside my heart

Verse 3
You were the buzz-saw
under my skin
sweet as a threat
when the blackouts hit
Now I hear your footsteps
in the vents above
every room I enter
turns into a cage of love

Pre-Chorus
It starts in the teeth
It climbs the spine
The walls lean in
and call me mine
One wrong blink
one wrong move
then the whole machine
turns me loose

Chorus
High Voltage
cut me open
High Voltage
let it show
High Voltage
say my name now
High Voltage
and watch me glow

Bridge
whispered
If I wake up
don’t answer me
I’ve seen my shadow
on factory glass
I’ve heard the future
dragging chains
I’ve worn my terror
like a mask

pitch-shifted
Say it again
say it again
say it again

Breakdown
Crush the warning
bend the frame
I am the noise
that learned your name
Kick the door
tear the seam
drag me under
in the machine

Final Chorus
High Voltage
cut me open
High Voltage
let it show
High Voltage
say my name now
High Voltage
and watch me glow
High Voltage
burn the hallway
High Voltage
hear me roar
High Voltage
I don’t vanish
High Voltage
I become more

Outro
Cold room. Empty throat.
A pulse in the dark.
The lock still trembles.
The lock still trembles.
whispered
Don’t look at me like that.
