Lyrics
Verse 1
You want scared?
Come closer.
I wear the dark
like a jawbone.
Your little rage
is a paper cut.
Mine is a blade
under wet skin.
I came with mud
on my knuckles,
I came with names
in my throat.
One wrong blink
and the room goes thin.
One wrong step
and you’re gone.
Pre-Chorus
So say it again
with your chest out.
Say it again
and choke on it.
The floor starts shaking,
your smile starts breaking.
You hear that sound?
That’s your brave face peeling off.
Chorus
I want actual scare
(I want actual scare)
I want the room to turn
when I say your name.
Actual scare
(Actual scare)
No pretty mask,
just teeth and flame.
I want actual scare
(I want actual scare)
I want your pulse to race
when the shadows lean.
Actual scare
(Actual scare)
Yeah, that’s the sound
of you knowing me.
Verse 2
I’ve seen saints
with stained hands.
I’ve seen wolves
in borrowed skin.
You talk like a storm,
but you move like glass,
all sharp at the edge,
all hollow inside.
My laugh is a match
in a gas-soaked hall,
my stare is a nail
through your last excuse.
You wanted a threat,
so here’s the truth:
I don’t bark loud,
I bite through.
Pre-Chorus
Say it again
with your chest out.
Say it again
and choke on it.
The floor starts shaking,
your smile starts breaking.
You hear that sound?
That’s your brave face peeling off.
Chorus
I want actual scare
(I want actual scare)
I want the room to turn
when I say your name.
Actual scare
(Actual scare)
No pretty mask,
just teeth and flame.
I want actual scare
(I want actual scare)
I want your pulse to race
when the shadows lean.
Actual scare
(Actual scare)
Yeah, that’s the sound
of you knowing me.
Bridge
Half-time breakdown
Now listen close.
No hero talk.
No clean hands.
No empty bark.
I was built
from the fallout,
from the bruised-up halls
and the slammed-door nights.
Whispers crawl.
Lights fail.
Your brave little world
gets very small.
Come on then.
Stand there.
(stand there)
Hold that fear
in your mouth.
Final Chorus
I want actual scare
(I want actual scare)
I want the room to turn
when I say your name.
Actual scare
(Actual scare)
No pretty mask,
just teeth and flame.
I want actual scare
(I want actual scare)
I want your pulse to race
when the shadows lean.
Actual scare
(Actual scare)
Yeah, that’s the sound
of you knowing me.
