Eyes Of Glass

EYES OF GLASS Verse 1 You wear your silence like a crucifix black mascara in your veins I watch you bleed without a wound while you smile through all the pain Your bedroom walls are full of shadows names you never let me know I’m your mother, I’m your animal but you still won’t let me close Pre-Chorus I scratch your name into the drywall I scream it through my teeth Your eyes are little funeral fires burning holes through me Chorus Your eyes— they spit the truth you’ll never say Two dead stars behind your face drifting farther every day I see your soul in pieces like broken stained glass skin And every time I pull you closer you disappear again Verse 2 Your footsteps sound like loaded weapons every hallway shakes with fear You’re made of knives and nicotine and ghosts that whisper in your ear I’d tear my ribs apart for shelter let you crawl inside my chest But mothers don’t survive their children when darkness loves them best Pre-Chorus You bite the hand that built your heaven you spit blood at the light And I’m still here with shaking fingers trying to hold you through the night Chorus Your eyes— they spit the truth you’ll never say Two dead stars behind your face drifting farther every day I see your soul in pieces like broken stained glass skin And every time I pull you closer you disappear again Bridge How do I bury what’s still breathing? How do I save what won’t be saved? You’re my halo made of razorwire my sweetest grave Final Chorus Your eyes— I see the child you used to be Buried underneath the ruin buried underneath me And if love was ever enough you’d still be standing here But all I hold are shattered mirrors and a mother’s love that never ends.
