Moth in the Throat

Lyrics

Intro
I feel you in my teeth
I feel you in my teeth
Whispered
Come closer
Come closer

Verse 1
Something crawls behind my eyes
Counting cracks in the ceiling
It knows my name by the shape
Of the fear I keep from spilling
Cold handprints on the pane
Even when the room is still
I hear it turn in my skull
Like a key against my will

Pre-Chorus
Don't say my name
It wakes the floor
Don't look at me
It's wanting more
My mouth goes dry
My pulse goes thin
It smiles through me
From under my skin

Chorus
It's in me now
It's in me now
Bite down, bite down
Don't let it out
It's in me now
It's in me now
I hear it laugh
When I shut my mouth

Verse 2
There was a stain on the wall
Where my shadow used to be
And the mirror kept a second face
Breathing out of time with me
I tried to run through the hall
But the hall kept getting long
Every door had my own voice
Singing me a broken song

Pre-Chorus
Don't say my name
It wakes the floor
Don't look at me
It's wanting more
My bones go cold
My hands go numb
It wears my skin
And calls it home

Chorus
It's in me now
It's in me now
Bite down, bite down
Don't let it out
It's in me now
It's in me now
I hear it laugh
When I shut my mouth

Bridge
Half-Time Drop
Hush
There's a mouth in the dark
Hush
There's a pulse in the mark
I tried to pray
It learned my shape
Now every breath
Comes back with his face
Whispered
He knows
He knows
He knows

Breakdown
Scrape that name off my tongue
Scrape it slow
I can feel the other one
Take control
Not mine
Not mine
Not mine
Shouted
Open up

Final Chorus
It's in me now
It's in me now
Bite down, bite down
Don't let it out
It's in me now
It's in me now
I hear it laugh
When I shut my mouth
It's in me now
It's in me now
Come take a look
At what I've become
