Glass Beneath Me

I woke with salt on my tongue

And a bruise in the shape of your name

The mirror held up my hands

Like they’d never learned how to pray

You left a key in the ash

At the edge of the sink like a dare

I pressed my ear to the wall

And heard your shadow living there

If I climb out, will you call me?

If I fall back, will you stay?

There’s a door in the dark

And it knows my face

Take me back to Eden

Take me back again

Take me back to Eden

I still taste the end

I still taste the end

(hold me under)

(I remember)

Your perfume in the coat room

On a collar that won’t let me go

A red scarf on the banister

Like a wound in a winter show

I tried to burn the old map

But the fire only made it clear

Every road I’ve ever taken

Turns the same when you’re not here

If I climb out, will you call me?

If I fall back, will you stay?

There’s a door in the dark

And it knows my face

Take me back to Eden

Take me back again

Take me back to Eden

I still taste the end

I still taste the end

(hold me under)

(I remember)

Oh, let the river keep my secrets

Let the silt write over my skin

I was born with a broken compass

And I’d do it all again

Take me

Take me back

Take me back

To Eden

Take me back to Eden

Take me back again

Take me back to Eden

I still taste the end

I still taste the end

(hold me under)

(I remember)

Take me back to Eden

Take me back again
