[Intro, There’s a door behind the dark. I keep the key beside my heart. [Verse 1] I keep a key where nobody looks, Deep in the lining of my coat. Yeah, I keep a key where nobody looks, Deep in the lining of my coat. It opens up a room full of words That died inside my throat. There’s a cracked plate beneath the lights, From the night I played along. Yeah, a cracked plate beneath the lights, From the night I played along. Every shard is marked with the hour I pretended to be strong. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t break it. I don’t burn it. I just give the pain a name. But every quiet little exhibit Still remembers where it came. [Chorus] Everything I swallow, Everything I hide, Gets a little number And a place inside. Every “I’m okay” That was never built to last Ends up, ends up Under glass. Under glass, Under glass, All the words I never said Are under glass. I can lock the room, But I can’t outrun the past. Everything I silence Ends up under glass. [Verse 2] There’s a rusted chain in cabinet nine, For every time I stayed. Yeah, a rusted chain in cabinet nine, For every price I paid. And a photograph with your face cut out, So the wound will never fade. There’s a child in the oldest frame, With his teeth against his tongue. Yeah, a child in the oldest frame, Still afraid of everyone. He learned that silence kept the peace, But not what silence would become. [Pre-Chorus] So I polish every sorrow. I arrange it straight and clean. Like a heart can stop from bleeding If the blood is never seen. [Chorus] Everything I swallow, Everything I hide, Gets a little number And a place inside. Every “I’m okay” That was never built to last Ends up, ends up Under glass. Under glass, Under glass, All the words I never said Are under glass. I can lock the room, But I can’t outrun the past. Everything I silence Ends up under glass. [Bridge, voice cracking] Come closer… But don’t touch the case. That one still carries The shape of your face. That isn’t anger. No, anger burns fast. That is love with nowhere to go, Still breathing under glass. [Final Chorus, ] Everything I swallowed, Everything I hid, Every door I never opened, Every thing I never did. Every “please don’t leave me” Buried underneath the past Ends up, ends up Under glass. Under glass, Under glass, All the love I couldn’t save Is under glass. If I open up the door, Would you hold me while it cracks? Or would you leave me here With everything under glass? There’s a room no daylight finds. There’s a key beside my heart. Everything I never said… Still waiting in the dark.
