[Intro] Midnight in my head Shadows on the wall Every step I took They was waitin’ for the fall (yeah) [Verse 1] Cold room Clock stopped Every dream I had Got body‑dropped I was prayin’ for a sign Got a closed door Prayin’ for a light Got a black floor Teeth in the dark Wanna bite when I’m weak They don’t show love They just study what I bleed I been sleepwalk Staring at the ceiling fan Voice in my chest Sayin’ “you the only plan” (you the only plan) [Chorus] Teeth in the dark Tryna chew my heart They circle when I’m quiet They sing when I’m scarred If the fear don’t kill me Then the scars my crown I walk through the night Till the night backs down Teeth in the dark Teeth in the dark I ain’t runnin’ from the pain I just pull it apart Teeth in the dark Teeth in the dark If you look into my eyes You can see those marks (yeah) [Verse 2] Backpack heavy Got ghosts in the zip Every little sin Got a name on the list I don’t trust eyes Barely trust breath Friends turn fog When you speak on death I was thirteen Saw a man lose faith Saw a white sheet Saw a shut‑down face Now my smile got cracks My sleep got cuts Every blessing that I get Got blood on the guts I don’t pray soft I just grit my jaw Tell the dark “take a seat You gon’ watch me crawl” Turn crawl to a stride Turn fear to a knife Cut the chain from my neck Now it swing like ice (ice) [Chorus] Teeth in the dark Tryna chew my heart They circle when I’m quiet They sing when I’m scarred If the fear don’t kill me Then the scars my crown I walk through the night Till the night backs down Teeth in the dark Teeth in the dark I ain’t runnin’ from the pain I just pull it apart Teeth in the dark Teeth in the dark If you look into my eyes You can see those marks (those marks) [Bridge] Step by step Hear the gravel crack Every shadow that I fought Now follow my back You can lock me in the room With the doubt and the wrath I’ll be laughin’ with the monsters When I walk out last (ha) [Chorus] Teeth in the dark Tryna chew my heart They circle when I’m quiet They sing when I’m scarred If the fear don’t kill me Then the scars my crown I walk through the night Till the night backs down Teeth in the dark Teeth in the dark I ain’t runnin’ from the pain I just pull it apart Teeth in the dark Teeth in the dark If you look into my eyes You can see those marks (yeah, yeah)
