Bite my heart, let it mark your teeth
I came in bruised,
still bringing
heat
I wore the night like a torn up coat
Names on my back,
still I never broke Cold on the curb,
but my jaw stayed set You took your shot,
I ain't folding yet I learned my grace in a loud back
room Piano keys ringing through the fumes Flute in the cut like
a warning sign I bled for the truth,
now the truth is mine Push me close to the edge again
Watch me turn that hurt to a hymn
Hands up, chest bare,
no disguise You can see the fire in my eyes
Bite my heart, leave your name in the red I still dance
with the words you said Bite my heart,
I don't break, I bend Lose my breath,
then I rise again Bite my heart,
if you came for war
I'm still here and I want some more Now the room spins
gold when I step inside Scars on my grin,
got nothing to hide
Kick on the floor and the lights go wide I make pain
move clean with a reckless stride Soul in the chord and dirt
in the snare Love got sharp when you pulled my hair Still
I laugh with my fist unclenched Built this voice where the walls
were drenched
You can't own what won't stay down
You can't cage this battered sound
I was ash, I was flame,
I was rain
Now I call my own name
Bite my heart, leave your name in the red I still dance
with the words you said Bite my heart,
I don't break, I bend Lose my breath,
then I rise again Bite my heart,
if you came for war I'm still here and I want some
more Bite my heart,
and I bare my soul Cracked but burning,
I stay whole
Bite my heart
I rise again
