[Verse 1]
I been up in my own head
Staring at the cracked sink
Cold water on my knuckles
Trying not to feel a thing
Mama said I look like rain
When I bite down on the pain
I keep folding every scar
Like a note I won't explain
[Pre-Chorus]
And I heard that old voice call
From the hallway in my mind
Saying, "Boy, don't you let it win"
But I'm tired of being kind
I keep dragging all this weight
Like a chain behind my name
If I break before I bend
Will you still know what I became?
[Chorus]
Blue glass prayer
Blue glass prayer
I keep breaking, I keep breathing
Blue glass prayer
Blue glass prayer
You can hear me through the ceiling
(Blue glass prayer)
(Blue glass prayer)
[Verse 2]
Spent my last on a good lie
Just to make it to the door
Found my shadow in the hallway
With its back against the wall
Every smile I wore in public
Had a crack beneath the paint
If you looked into my eyes
You could see the hurricane
[Pre-Chorus]
And I heard that old voice call
From the hallway in my mind
Saying, "Boy, don't you let it win"
But I'm tired of being kind
I keep dragging all this weight
Like a chain behind my name
If I break before I bend
Will you still know what I became?
[Chorus]
Blue glass prayer
Blue glass prayer
I keep breaking, I keep breathing
Blue glass prayer
Blue glass prayer
You can hear me through the ceiling
(Blue glass prayer)
(Blue glass prayer)
[Bridge]
If I turn the whole thing over
Will the dark still know my face?
If I hand you all my pieces
Can you keep them in one place?
I don't need a perfect answer
Just a hand when I come undone
Just a little light to follow
Till the worst part's finally done
[Chorus]
Blue glass prayer
Blue glass prayer
I keep breaking, I keep breathing
Blue glass prayer
Blue glass prayer
You can hear me through the ceiling
(Blue glass prayer)
(Blue glass prayer)
