Teeth made of Mirrors

(Verse 1)

You spoke in edges, polished clean

Every word a guillotine

Sugar coating, razor thin

Let me taste it, let it in

I learned your language, line by line

Truth distorted, dressed in shine

Every “care” a hidden cost

Every win already lost

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

You cut so clean I didn’t feel it

Not until I tried to heal it

⸻

(Chorus)

You got a glass tongue, I got scars to prove it

Say it soft but you still cut through it

Every word like a loaded gun

Shatter me and call it love

But I’ve been breaking long enough

Now I’m biting back, I’ve had enough

If you’re all edge and no control

Then I’ll be fire to your fragile soul

⸻

(Verse 2)

You wore your lies like they were grace

Perfect posture, perfect face

Every pause a calculated move

Every silence something to prove

I played along, I knew the game

Still got burned, still took the blame

Funny how the truth appears

Only when it costs you years

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

You cut so clean I called it mercy

Now I see it wasn’t worthy

⸻

(Chorus)

You got a glass tongue, I got scars to prove it

Say it soft but you still cut through it

Every word like a loaded gun

Shatter me and call it love

But I’ve been breaking long enough

Now I’m biting back, I’ve had enough

If you’re all edge and no control

Then I’ll be fire to your fragile soul

⸻

(Bridge – drop + rhythmic tension, almost spoken/sung)

Say it again

Say it slow

Let me hear

What I know

You don’t break

You just bend

Till the truth

Hits the end

Crack.

⸻

(Breakdown – heavy, syncopated phrasing)

Glass…

Tongue…

Shatters when the pressure comes

Sharp…

Words…

But they dull when I don’t run

No more bleed

No more bruise

No more playing what you choose

You don’t get

To rewrite

What you did

In that light

⸻

(Final Chorus – lifted, anthemic)

You had a glass tongue, now it’s dust and silence

All your edges lost to violence

Every word that you threw away

Echoes back and makes you stay

I was breaking, now I’m whole

You were never in control

If you’re all edge and no soul

I’m the weight that takes its toll

⸻

(Outro – stripped back)

Careful what you say

When your words can’t stay

Whole
