Glass Atlas

[Verse 1] You read the room like braille Thumb on the fracture line Tea ring on vellum maps Ink on your sleeve like a sign You keep a dozen clocks Tucked in the same small chest One counts the bones of rain One counts what we never said [Pre-Chorus] And every door in you Opens a different sky Coal in the left hand Gold in the other eye You solve the ache by name Then let the name dissolve Crystal, you carry sparks In a head made to evolve [Chorus] Glass atlas, show me the route Glass atlas, pull me through You make the dark look geometric You make the broken points ring true Glass atlas, stay in my hands Glass atlas, don’t drift off You turn a splinter into starlight And call it by its proper cost (Glass atlas) (Glass atlas) [Verse 2] You line up constellations With train tickets and chalk A violin in your notebook A theorem in your walk You taste the iron of truth Then season it with grace You fold five kinds of leaving Into one impossible face [Pre-Chorus] And when the floor gives way You build on what remains A map from the scorch marks A bridge from the names You don’t just see the world You translate all it hides Crystal, you wear the storm Like a lantern at your side [Chorus] Glass atlas, show me the route Glass atlas, pull me through You make the dark look geometric You make the broken points ring true Glass atlas, stay in my hands Glass atlas, don’t drift off You turn a splinter into starlight And call it by its proper cost (Glass atlas) (Glass atlas) [Bridge] [Half-time] If I come unmade Lay your questions down If I lose my edges Trace me back to ground You were never only one thing You were the seam and the seam’s reply A cabinet of weather A blade of brilliant sky [Final Chorus] Glass atlas, show me the route Glass atlas, pull me through You make the dark look geometric You make the broken points ring true Glass atlas, stay in my hands Glass atlas, don’t drift off You turn a splinter into starlight And call it by its proper cost (Glass atlas) (Glass atlas) (Glass atlas) (Glass atlas)
