Iron Mouth

Lyrics

Intro
Tick of the lock
Clank in the wall
Something is breathing
Behind it all

Verse 1
I wake in a frame
Of screws and bone
Cold hands moving
Without my own
Black oil on my tongue
Tastin' the seam
Hear that scrape
In the edge of my dream

Pre-Chorus
Hush now
It knows my name
Hush now
Feed me the chain

Chorus
Iron mouth
Say it again
Iron mouth
Let it get in
Iron mouth
Under my skin
Iron mouth
I was born to bend

Verse 2
Skin gets thin
When the hum gets low
Face in the glass
Won't let me go
Every prayer
Comes back as rust
Every soft word
Turns into dust

Pre-Chorus
Hush now
The gears align
Hush now
It speaks through mine

Chorus
Iron mouth
Say it again
Iron mouth
Let it get in
Iron mouth
Under my skin
Iron mouth
I was born to bend

Verse 3
I wore that chain
Like a second spine
Fed on the pulse
Of the broken line
If I claw at the door
It claws right back
If I call for help
It laughs in black

Bridge
One more turn
One more lash
One more voice
From the ash
I am the room
I am the noise
I am the thing
That ruins your voice

Final Chorus
Iron mouth
Say it again
Iron mouth
Let it get in
Iron mouth
Under my skin
Iron mouth
I was born to bend

Outro
Tick of the lock
Clank in the wall
Something is breathing
Behind it all
