[Verse 1]
Found you in a cardboard box
Chipped paint
Crooked smile
One eye
Mama said
"Throw that thing out"
But you stared back like
"We’ll survive"
Tiny suit with the fraying seams
Hands too small to ever hold mine
Still I carved secrets in your chest
You swallowed every single line
[Chorus]
Porcelain friend
You never blink
You never bend
You’re in my hands
But somehow you still command
Every word I say
Every path I choose
Porcelain friend
If I let you go
I lose
[Verse 2]
Years passed
I dressed you in black
Scar on your cheek just like mine
Kept you on the highest shelf
But you climbed down in my mind
You wait by the bedroom door
Cold smile pressed against my thought
Weighing names like rosary beads
Tipping every "should" to "ought"
[Chorus]
Porcelain friend
You never blink
You never bend
You’re in my hands
But somehow you still command
Every word I say
Every path I choose
Porcelain friend
If I let you go
I lose
[Bridge]
You lean close
Breath like dust in my ear (so clear)
"Say yes
Say yes
Let me steer
Let me steer" (yeah)
Who am I
When your silence speaks first?
Is it love
Is it curse
Is it thirst?
[Chorus]
Porcelain friend
You never blink
You never bend
You’re in my hands
But somehow you still command
Every word I say
Every path I choose
Porcelain friend
If I let you go
I lose
Porcelain friend
Crack my skin
Crawl back in again
You’re in my bones
In every fear I defend
Every word I say
Every path I choose
Porcelain friend
If I let you go… I’m you
