You drew that line

Right through my name

Tried to pin my hands

Tried to cage my flame

You stacked your rules

Like a wall of stone

Thought I'd bow my head

Thought I'd walk alone

I got teeth against the tide

Blood on my tongue but I won't hide

You can push

You can pull

You can lie

I don't break

I bite

Yeah

I’m standing in the flood

Turn your pressure into pride

You can shout

You can shove

You can try

I got teeth against the tide

You call it love

When you lock the door

Say it's for my good

While you count the score

You hate the sparks

That I can't unlearn

Every “sit back down”

Is more fuel to burn (oh)

I got teeth against the tide

Blood on my tongue but I won't hide

You can push

You can pull

You can lie

I don't break

I bite

Yeah

I’m standing in the flood

Turn your pressure into pride

You can shout

You can shove

You can try

I got teeth against the tide

Write me off

Ink runs red

Still I scrape my truth

On the inside of my head

You say “know your place”

I say “pick your side”

’Cause I was born

With my fists up to the sky (hey!)

I got teeth against the tide

Blood on my tongue but I won't hide

You can push

You can pull

You can lie

I don't break

I bite

Yeah

I’m standing in the flood

Turn your pressure into pride

You can shout

You can shove

You can try

I got teeth against the tide
