Rusted Teeth

Lyrics

Intro
Keep your hands on the wall
Don't turn around
Something in here
Knows my name

Verse 1
The air tastes like iron
Under my tongue
I count every bolt
As they come undone
A lock in my chest
Won't let me breathe
Your shadow crawls
Right over me

Pre-Chorus
Hear that scrape
In the ductwork now
My skin goes cold
When the lights go out
Every step
Is a closer blow
And I can't tell
If I move or I fold

Chorus
Rusted teeth
Clamp down on me
Rusted teeth
Don't let me leave
(hold it down)
Rusted teeth
Clamp down on me
(again, again)
I feel it close
I feel it breathe

Verse 2
The corridor bends
Like a broken grin
Metal on metal
Starts caving in
I saw my name
On a cracked steel door
Then the whole frame shook
And I wanted more

Pre-Chorus
Hear that scrape
In the ductwork now
My skin goes cold
When the lights go out
Every step
Is a closer blow
And I can't tell
If I move or I fold

Chorus
Rusted teeth
Clamp down on me
Rusted teeth
Don't let me leave
(hold it down)
Rusted teeth
Clamp down on me
(again, again)
I feel it close
I feel it breathe

Bridge
If I scream, it stays
If I crawl, it knows
A mouth of gears
In a bone-white glow
Whisper my fault
Say it slow
Say I made this
Say I chose

Breakdown
Down
Down
Pull me down
(tear it open)
Steel on bone
No way out
(no way out)
Down
Down
Pull me down

Verse 3
Now the floorboards pound
With a second heart
And the dark keeps time
In the factory dark
I wear this fear
Like a welded chain
Every breath I steal
Brings back the pain

Final Chorus
Rusted teeth
Clamp down on me
Rusted teeth
Don't let me leave
(hold it down)
Rusted teeth
Clamp down on me
(again, again)
I feel it close
I feel it breathe
Rusted teeth
Clamp down on me
Rusted teeth
Don't let me leave

Outro
Keep your hands on the wall
Don't turn around
Something in here
Knows my name
