[Verse 1] I lock the door, I hear me pace One hand cold, one hand in flame A cracked-up mirror on the sink Shows two versions in the frame One says run, one says stay Both got knives made out of names I bite my tongue till it bleeds Trying to keep the beasts contained [Pre-Chorus] I feel the split in my chest Like thunder under skin Every time I choose a side The other one comes in [Chorus] Two glass wolves In my ribs, in my ribs Two glass wolves And I don’t know which is which One says burn it down One says beg for grace Two glass wolves And they both wear my face [Verse 2] On the floor, my boots untied Bills on the chair, dust on the keys I hear my father in my throat I hear my mother in my teeth One half knows how to forgive One half wants to draw blood I keep a smile on my mouth While a war keeps rising up [Pre-Chorus] I feel the split in my chest Like thunder under skin Every time I choose a side The other one comes in [Chorus] Two glass wolves In my ribs, in my ribs Two glass wolves And I don’t know which is which One says burn it down One says beg for grace Two glass wolves And they both wear my face [Bridge] I have been both the cage and the key I have been the wound and the thread If I cut one voice loose tonight Will the silence leave me dead? So I stand where the fault line shakes Hands clenched hard, eyes open wide If I break, I break in truth If I stay, let me choose my side [Final Chorus] Two glass wolves In my ribs, in my ribs Two glass wolves And I don’t know which is which One says burn it down One says beg for grace Two glass wolves And they both wear my face Two glass wolves In my ribs, in my ribs Two glass wolves I can name them, I can face One says burn it down One says beg for grace Two glass wolves And I’m learning to stay2
