Lyrics

[Intro]
Ash on my tongue, quiet like a bruise.

[Verse 1]
Unstruck matches under tongue; I learned their taste.
Banked every red thought under ash; smiled for the room.
Breathed through my teeth till the jawbone buzzed.
The last sorry rises hot — stops hard, won't move.

[Build]

[Chorus]
No more damp cloth over the mouth of flame.
I'm breathing back the fire I swallowed.
Let it sear the lines where I refuse to fold.

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
Lungs scraped black from hush now ring like a forge.
Every no I buried stands iron at the door.
I strip the tape from my voice; daylight roars.
Heat climbs my spine in steps, counted, sure.

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
No more kept embers under house rules I never signed.
I'm breathing back the fire I swallowed.
Clean burn, bright truth, out my open throat.

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Sorry hangs on my lip like smoke — then breaks.
I bare my teeth; the pilot light wakes.

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
I'm breathing back the fire I swallowed.
