Rust in My Teeth

Lyrics

Intro
Tick in my ribs
Cold metal prayer
I hear you turn
Inside my hair

Verse 1
I wake with teeth
Already grinding
Face in the sink
Something is smiling
Your name comes through
Like a wire in flame
I blink once slow
And it answers the same

Pre-Chorus
Hands on the glass
They move on their own
Skin goes static
Bone by bone
Say it again
Let it crawl in
Open the door
Let the thing begin

Chorus
I am not yours
I am not mine
Rust in my teeth
And a broken line
Call my name
Let it split
I come alive
When it hits

Verse 2
The room bends low
Like it knows my shape
Floorboards talk back
In a language of hate
I patch my face
With a borrowed grin
But something beneath
Keeps pulling me in

Pre-Chorus
Hands on the glass
They move on their own
Skin goes static
Bone by bone
Say it again
Let it crawl in
Open the door
Let the thing begin

Chorus
I am not yours
I am not mine
Rust in my teeth
And a broken line
Call my name
Let it split
I come alive
When it hits

Verse 3
I wore your doubt
Like a chain in the dark
Fed on the fear
Like a spark in a jar
Now I don't twitch
I obey in waves
A borrowed machine
In a human cage

Bridge
Look at me now
All cold and clean
Pull my mouth wide
Till it shows the seam
One more breath
And I fold inside
One more word
And I turn to night

Breakdown
Break me
Build me
Break me again
Hands like bolts
And a rusted grin
Pull the thread
Let the husk come loose
I was a door
Now I'm the noose

Chorus
I am not yours
I am not mine
Rust in my teeth
And a broken line
Call my name
Let it split
I come alive
When it hits

Outro
Tick in my ribs
Cold metal prayer
I hear you turn
Still in my hair
Say my name
Through the static skin
I was never whole
I was built to let you in
