Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stale coffee on the nightstand
Phone face down
Screen still bright
All my good plans in a trash can
Kicking at the doorframe
Picking a fight
[Chorus]
You’re the match in my teeth
I strike you when I’m shaking
Every breath gasoline
Every word glass breaking
If this is wrong
Don’t preach
I’m already past saving
You’re the match in my teeth
And I keep on
Keep on blazing
[Verse 2]
Old band tee full of holes
Ink on my wrist says “stay”
Your jacket on the bedpost
Daring me to throw it away
[Chorus]
You’re the match in my teeth
I strike you when I’m shaking
Every breath gasoline
Every word glass breaking
If this is wrong
Don’t preach
I’m already past saving
You’re the match in my teeth
And I keep on
Keep on blazing
[Bridge]
I said I’d quit
I never did
You’re under my nails
In every ripped-up script
I bite my tongue
Taste the spark
We burn the room
Just to light the dark (hey!)
[Chorus]
You’re the match in my teeth
I strike you when I’m shaking
Every breath gasoline
Every word glass breaking
If this is wrong
Don’t preach
I’m already past saving
You’re the match in my teeth
And I keep on
Keep on blazing
Stale coffee on the nightstand
Phone face down
Screen still bright
All my good plans in a trash can
Kicking at the doorframe
Picking a fight
[Chorus]
You’re the match in my teeth
I strike you when I’m shaking
Every breath gasoline
Every word glass breaking
If this is wrong
Don’t preach
I’m already past saving
You’re the match in my teeth
And I keep on
Keep on blazing
[Verse 2]
Old band tee full of holes
Ink on my wrist says “stay”
Your jacket on the bedpost
Daring me to throw it away
[Chorus]
You’re the match in my teeth
I strike you when I’m shaking
Every breath gasoline
Every word glass breaking
If this is wrong
Don’t preach
I’m already past saving
You’re the match in my teeth
And I keep on
Keep on blazing
[Bridge]
I said I’d quit
I never did
You’re under my nails
In every ripped-up script
I bite my tongue
Taste the spark
We burn the room
Just to light the dark (hey!)
[Chorus]
You’re the match in my teeth
I strike you when I’m shaking
Every breath gasoline
Every word glass breaking
If this is wrong
Don’t preach
I’m already past saving
You’re the match in my teeth
And I keep on
Keep on blazing
Style of Music
rock, Crunchy modern rock with overdriven guitars and snare that cracks. Verses stay tight and tense on palm-muted riffs; chorus widens with open chords, octave leads, and stacked gang vocals on the hook. Mid-bridge drop to half-time with tom-heavy groove, then final chorus pushes vocal grit and feedback tail.
