Glass-Eyed Guardians(fem vers.)

Sparse, detuned piano and brushed snares under a scraping, mournful violin; female vocals hovering between whisper and sharp cry, 90s experimental trip-hop atmosphere with warped tape textures and reversed swells, Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, eerie room reverb; choruses bloom with stacked, ghostly harmonies and subtly distorted strings, ending on a lingering, unresolved chord, violin, experimental, female vocals

[Verse 1] Porcelain cheeks Cracked at the corner Dust on the shelf Name on the box long gone Tiny blue dress Threadbare Crooked One painted shoe One little hand still warm [Chorus] We are the glass‑eyed guardians Staring from the darkened room Bound to the toys they buried us holding Keeping watch for the children like us We pull the covers over their dreams So they never have to leave too soon Glass‑eyed guardians Laughing in the quiet gloom (ooh) [Verse 2] Nightlight flickers Curtain shivers Footprints pressing Soft in the hallway rug Picture frame tilts Clock hands stutter Cold breath circles Steam on the window’s lung [Chorus] We are the glass‑eyed guardians Staring from the darkened room Bound to the toys they buried us holding Keeping watch for the children like us We pull the covers over their dreams So they never have to leave too soon Glass‑eyed guardians Laughing in the quiet gloom (yeah) [Bridge] If they hear a giggle When nobody’s there If the dolls all answer An unspoken prayer It’s us in the buttons It’s us in the string We rattle the shadows So nothing else can sting (hey) [Chorus] We are the glass‑eyed guardians Staring from the darkened room Bound to the toys they buried us holding Keeping watch for the children like us We pull the covers over their dreams So they never have to leave too soon Glass‑eyed guardians Glass‑eyed Guarding you
