📝 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't need the silence sweet
I just need the noise off me
A thousand eyes can turn to wire
A single mouth can start a fire

[Pre-Chorus]
So I count the grass, count the bruise
Count the things I will not lose

[Chorus]
Rope line teeth, you can chew the air
I am still standing there
Rope line teeth, you can spit your rain
I make a weapon out of restraint

[Verse 2]
The marshal moves, the circle clears
A little mercy enters here
Not soft, not clean, not free of cost
Just enough to swing through what was lost

[Bridge]
Every public heart knows this
How the crowd can turn to fist
How the work still asks your name
After strangers bring their flame

[Final Chorus]
Rope line teeth, you can chew the air
I am still standing there
Rope line teeth, you can spit your rain
I make a weapon out of restraint
