Glass Veins
[Verse 1] Smoke hanging low like a funeral veil Streetlights flicker, sick and pale Everybody talks but the words decay Like dead insects caught in the drain Cold tile floors and fluorescent skin Something ugly crawls within The city hums through fractured teeth Grinding down everything underneath I keep hearing whispers in the sink Tiny voices pulling at the brink Telling me the flood is getting near But nobody else can seem to hear [Chorus 1] Something dark is moving through my veins Turning every memory into stains I can feel it breathing in my chest Like a parasite that never rests Pull me under Let the current drag me deep No more fighting No more trying just to sleep I dissolve into the undertow [Verse 2] Rainwater dripping from the ceiling pipes Black halos under sleepless eyes Everybody drowning standing still Smiling like they’ve lost the will I watched the mirror split in two One side me, the other something new Its mouth moved first before I spoke Like my reflection learned the joke Now the walls bend inward when I breathe And the silence grows sharp beneath Every pulse feels hollowed out and thin Like my body doesn’t want me in [Chorus 2] Something dark is buried in my blood Spreading slowly like an incoming flood Every heartbeat echoes like a gun And I don’t recognize what I’ve become Pull me under Let oblivion erase the ache No more waking Just another fracture left to break I disappear into the undertow [Bridge] I tried to cut the sickness from my skin But it was deeper than the flesh within Every nerve became a wire singing low Every thought became a place I shouldn’t go And somewhere beneath the static rain A nameless thing repeats my name Closer now with every breath I take Waiting for the final part to break [Outro] Glass veins… Shimmering underneath Cold hands… Pulling at my sleep No light… Waiting down below I disappear into the undertow
