[Verse 1]
You trace my spine
Like you're reading a map
Every scar
Every line
You say you can fix that
Empty glass on the floor
Blue light on your face
You promise me more
But you’re stuck in this place
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep still so I don't break
Hold my breath till your hands shake
[Chorus]
Porcelain pulse in your cruel hands
Hairline cracks where you won't stand
Say you care
Then you let me fall
Shatter my shape on your bedroom wall
Porcelain pulse
Can you feel it fade?
Every beat begging you to stay
Touch me soft till I’m sharp and small
Porcelain pulse
You don't catch me at all
[Verse 2]
You speak in half-words
I fill in the rest
Turn your cold silence
Into some kind of test
Lipstick on your collar
My name on your tongue
You swear you'll call
But the night comes undone
[Pre-Chorus]
I stay close so I don't fade
Count to ten till the pain waves
[Chorus]
Porcelain pulse in your cruel hands
Hairline cracks where you won't stand
Say you care
Then you let me fall
Shatter my shape on your bedroom wall
Porcelain pulse
Can you feel it fade?
Every beat begging you to stay
Touch me soft till I’m sharp and small
Porcelain pulse
You don't catch me at all
[Bridge]
[Everything drops to pulse and distant piano]
You hold what's left of me
Like it's already gone
A fragile little secret
You break when you’re done
I could glue myself back
But I'd still feel the seams
So I gather every piece
And I walk out of your dreams (oh)
[Chorus]
Porcelain pulse
Out of your hands
All my cracks turning into plans
You said you cared
Now I let you fall
Fade like your name on a fading wall
Porcelain pulse
Hear it finally change
Every beat beating out your name
Touch my scars
They don’t bleed at all
Porcelain pulse
I’m the one who won’t fall
