[Verse 1] I carved your name in my ribs With a pocketknife of prayer Every kiss came back like sparks On a wire already bare I wear your ghost in my mouth Taste of iron, taste of rain When I say your name too hard My pulse turns into pain [Pre-Chorus] And I want you Like a blade wants bone I want you But I’m not alone [Chorus] War inside my chest War for your hands War inside my chest I still want to stand Pull me apart, pull me in I’m split, but I’m yours War inside my chest And I come back for more [Verse 2] Black lace hanging on my chair Red cup, cracked at the rim I stare down the mirror glass And she stares right back at him One side begs to surrender One side wants to burn Every word you left on me Is a lesson I unlearn [Pre-Chorus] And I want you Like a storm wants shore I want you But I’m something more [Chorus] War inside my chest War for your hands War inside my chest I still want to stand Pull me apart, pull me in I’m split, but I’m yours War inside my chest And I come back for more [Bridge] I am the teeth in my own throat I am the vow and the flame I am the ache that won’t fold I am the one who remains If I break, I break bright If I fall, I fall clean Take the whole of my terror Still you live in me [Final Chorus] War inside my chest War for your hands War inside my chest I still want to stand Pull me apart, pull me in I’m split, but I’m yours War inside my chest And I come back for more
