[Verse 1]
I’m a ticking time bomb
Minute by minute
Hands on the shell
And I’m still inside it
Pressure in my teeth
Metal in my throat
I bite down hard
Still I start to choke
One more spark
And I lose my name
One more push
And I switch that flame
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it crawling up
Crawling up my spine
I held it too long
Now it’s mine
[Chorus]
Split the pin
I’m going in
I’m not holding it back
I’m not holding it in
Split the pin
Let me bend
I won’t beg
I won’t pretend
[Verse 2]
I’ll go mad
I’ll go wild
Bare hands on the wall
Like a cornered child
All that noise
In my skull
Keeps getting louder
Keeps getting cruel
I won’t give a fuck anymore
That’s the line
I’m done wearing calm
Like it’s still mine
I’ve been polite
I’ve been small
Now the leash is tight
And I want it gone
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it crawling up
Crawling up my skin
I held it too long
Let it in
[Chorus]
Split the pin
I’m going in
I’m not holding it back
I’m not holding it in
Split the pin
Let me bend
I won’t beg
I won’t pretend
[Bridge]
[Half-time break]
Tell me who I was
Before the heat
Before the red
Before the teeth
If I break tonight
Let it be loud
Let it shake this room
Let it shake this crowd
[Chorus]
Split the pin
I’m going in
I’m not holding it back
I’m not holding it in
Split the pin
Let me bend
I won’t beg
I won’t pretend
Split the pin
Hear me spin
I’m not your safe bet
I’m the thing within
