[Verse 1]
It was just a small room
Just a sideways glance
You were staring at me
He was losing his stance
Mike barked at his brother
Like a dog on a chain
I said “Mike
Leave him”
Felt the air start to strain
[Chorus]
Then the world cracked open in a second
Scissors in his hand
And the floor fell away
Glass rain
One shout
Then silence
Shattered afternoon
Stuck on replay
I see his stepbrother falling
Every time I close my eyes
We were only throwing little words
Till they turned into knives
[Verse 2]
I remember his sneakers
Half untied on the sill
The way anger made him taller
Like it could bend his will
I spoke up for a moment
Thought the storm might break
Did my voice light the fuse
On a fault-line quake?
[Chorus]
And the world cracked open in a second
Scissors in his hand
And the floor fell away
Glass rain
One shout
Then silence
Shattered afternoon
Stuck on replay
I see his stepbrother falling
Every time I close my eyes
We were only throwing little words
Till they turned into knives
