Lyrics
It started as a pressure band
A quiet fist, a steady hand
Right where the breathing and naming meet
Right where the lie gets hard to keep
Every no I never said
Every word I bit instead
Lived there like a wire pulled tight
Thin and white beneath the light
One more swallow, one more clean excuse
But the body knows what the mouth won't do
Throatline
All the unsaid turns to heat
Right where the breath and damage meet
Every silence cuts this close
Throatline
Feel the whole truth start to rise
Like a blade behind the tongue
One more second and it splits
Throatline
I can keep my face composed
While the pulse climbs up my throat
I can stand in perfect form
With a storm pinned under bone
Every answer leaves a scrape
Like it drags across the ache
Every look that lingers long
Tightens what I keep pulled shut
One more swallow, one more careful line
But the body keeps its own sharp time
Throatline
All the unsaid turns to heat
Right where the breath and damage meet
Every silence cuts this close
Throatline
Feel the whole truth start to rise
Like a blade behind the tongue
One more second and it splits
Throatline
I kept my voice in a locked room
Held it still till it turned cruel
Now the hinge is giving under it
Now the air tastes like the truth
No halo
No soft release
Just the nerve before the break
And the sound of something living
Pushing hard against the shape
Throatline
All the unsaid turns to heat
Right where the breath and damage meet
Every silence cuts this close
Throatline
Feel the whole truth start to rise
Like a blade behind the tongue
I don't think it wants to stay in
Throatline
