Lyric

I bite so I don’t cry

’Cause tears would prove I break

If strength is just a lullaby

Then let my hunger quake

I laugh so I don’t fall

With blood still on my tongue—

I’m not fearless at all

I’m just too damn young

They call me monster, night-born breed

A meteor child too wild to need

But fists don’t grow from rage alone

They bloom from nights I wept unknown

I punch so no one sees me shake

I joke so no one sees what aches

Every firework I ever chased

Left powder scars I never faced

I bite so I don’t cry

’Cause tears would prove I break

If strength is just a lullaby

Then let my hunger quake

I laugh so I don’t fall

With blood still on my tongue—

I’m not fearless at all

I’m just too damn young

They say I’m lucky, born to fight

But luck don’t feed you through the night

I wanted warm, I got a war

So I keep knocking at that door

’Cause somewhere food and fists can rest

And someone sees me past my jest

I don’t need pity, don’t need prayer—

Just stay, if you can bear

I bite so I don’t cry

’Cause tears would prove I break

If strength is just a lullaby

Then let my hunger quake

I laugh so I don’t fall

With blood still on my tongue—

I’m not fearless at all

I’m just too damn young

I ain’t a demon, I ain’t a saint

I’m just a girl with no restraint

If breaking’s sin, then let me bruise

’Cause living’s all I choose

So if I fight, don’t call it rage

It’s hunger locked inside a cage

Call it wrath, call it art—

It’s how I hold my heart

I bite so I don’t cry…

But someday, I just might

And if the stars ask why I stayed

Tell ’em I was simply afraid

Not of dying in the sky—

But of living

Without a place to cry
