Tuning The Pain

Verse 1

Static teeth and heavy sighs

Red ribbon pulled tight across my ribs

Tighten it

Pull hard

Pre-Chorus

Between the beats

Behind the bone

Locked in this house

Made of skin and stone

Chorus

Heart hums in a wrong key

Drags my lung down deep

Broken chord in my chest

Never lets me sleep

Never lets me breathe

Heart hums in a wrong key

Verse 2

Staircase looks like a mountain peak

Glass rattling in every single joint

Shaking hard

Point by point

Pre-Chorus

Between the beats

Behind the bone

Locked in this house

Made of skin and stone

Chorus

Heart hums in a wrong key

Drags my lung down deep

Broken chord in my chest

Never lets me sleep

Never lets me breathe

Heart hums in a wrong key

Bridge

Scale sliding off the edge

Tuning the blood to grey

Dissonant wire snapping slow

Nothing feels okay

Chorus

Heart hums in a wrong key

Drags my lung down deep

Broken chord in my chest

Never lets me sleep

Never lets me breathe

Heart hums in a wrong key
