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
