Glass Tongue

(Verse 1)

You cut through rooms like a siren call
No hesitation, no pause at all
You say what everyone’s thinking loud
Leave little truths scattered on the ground

You call them out on their cheap disguise
See every crack through polished lies
You wear your honesty like a crown
But never turn that mirror around

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

You’re fearless with a borrowed flame
But you won’t say your own name

⸻

(Chorus)

You’ve got a glass tongue, crystal clear
Say what nobody wants to hear
You tear ‘em open, you make it known
But you won’t speak what’s in your bones

You light the truth like a warning sign
But dodge the fault lines in your mind
You see it all when it’s someone else
But you go blind on yourself

⸻

(Verse 2)

You call out love like it’s counterfeit
Say “you deserve more than this”
You map out flaws like constellations
Diagnose every situation

But when it’s quiet and lights go low
There’s a voice you don’t let show
You rewrite facts, you redirect
Avoid the truths you might detect

⸻

(Pre-Chorus 2)

You’re sharp enough to split the night
But not to face your own reflection

⸻

(Chorus)

You’ve got a glass tongue, crystal clear
Say what nobody wants to hear
You tear ‘em open, you make it known
But you won’t speak what’s in your bones

You light the truth like a warning sign
But dodge the fault lines in your mind
You see it all when it’s someone else
But you go blind on yourself

⸻

(Bridge – stripped, almost confessional)

Who are you
When the room is gone
When there’s no one left
To be right for

Who are you
When the silence stays
And the truth you give
Cuts both ways

⸻

(Final Chorus – bigger, layered)

You’ve got a glass tongue, crystal clear
Say what nobody wants to hear
You hold the truth like a loaded gun
But you won’t aim it at the one

You light the truth like a warning sign
But leave your own in the dark behind
You see it all when it’s someone else
But you go blind… on yourself
