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
