Break The Lock

Lyrics

[Intro] Hold your breath, the floorboards shake A cold hand turns the iron gate [Verse 1] You came in late with rain on your coat A matchbook crushed in your closed fist I watched you count the cracks in the wall Then grin like you had nothing to lose [Pre-Chorus] Come closer, let the hinges complain I know the shape of your hunger by name [Chorus] Cut through the quiet, cut through the wire You want the spark, I want the fire No soft landing, no clean escape We break the lock, we bend the shape [Verse 2] The old sink rattles, the pipes run black Your boots leave mud on the kitchen tile You say my name like a dare to the room I answer low, then laugh awhile [Chorus] Cut through the quiet, cut through the wire You want the spark, I want the fire No soft landing, no clean escape We break the lock, we bend the shape [Bridge] Down in the cellar, the red bulbs swing Your pulse keeps time with the rusted spring I pull you near, then let you go You chase the heat; I set the pace [Outro] Keep the door wide Keep the lights dead Take what you came for Leave what you bled
