Under the lamplight A boy’s shadow bends Fractured in silver The truth never ends Glass veins, glass veins Filled with winter rain Every smile I wear Cuts my face again Statues of saints With hollowed eyes stare The air thick as mercury Pressed against my hair Glass veins, glass veins Flooded with winter rain Every mask I wear Knows my face by name The mask clings tight As my blood grows still Beauty tastes like rust But I drink my fill Glass veins, glass veins Filled with winter rain Every smile I wear Cuts my face again Glass veins… Lyrics: Cheshirah
