Lyrics

[Intro]
Metal on my tongue, I learned to taste the bit
A smile over a spark you told me to quit

[Verse 1]
Bitten tongue, I wore the iron like a ring
Clenched fists in my sleeves; I learned to take up less
I smiled till it shook, pressed thunder paper-thin
Kept the match behind my molars, swallowed back the singe

[Build]

[Chorus]
You made me soft to keep me quiet — now I bare my teeth
Held the embers on my tongue until they cut me deep
Called the lock around my voice "safety" on the sheath
You made me soft to keep me quiet — now I bare my teeth (bare my teeth)

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
I spit the pins, let all the careful seams release
Watch my jaw unhook the hush you built for me
All my sorries turned to flint; the sparks run down the street
No more folding into corners just to let you breathe
I'm the siren in the glass, the cut you didn't see

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
Hear it in the grind of gates I finally free
You made me soft to keep me quiet — now I bare my teeth
All the sparks I had to swallow are a torch I keep
Call it danger, call it living — either way it's me
You made me soft to keep me quiet — now I bare my teeth (now I bare my teeth)

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Bite marks on the dawn where I held back the heat
Iron on my tongue is turning into gasoline
I'm done carving quiet just to make your edges neat

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
You made me soft to keep me quiet — now I bare my teeth
(bare my teeth)
