Glass Between

The screen wakes up before I do

Blue glass counting every move (ahhhh)

I tape my smile to the camera eye

It blinks once, then it learns my lie

Every draft I never sent

Turns up glowing in the vent

I keep still, but the room takes notes Names my fear by

the way I choke (mm-mm)

Under the lens, I start to split Truth on my tongue,

blood on my lip

All of the thoughts I buried deep Climb through the static while

I sleep

If the screen is watching back Let it see what I can’t

say All my hidden weather cracks Spilling silver on my face Hold

me where the signal bends

I am bare beneath the scan If the screen is watching back

Tell me I’m still more than that (oh-oh)

Watching back Watching back

I can’t hide from the glass (oh-oh, ahhhh)

There’s a file with my old mistakes

Filed by the tremor in my name

I scroll down, but it scrolls through me

Finds the door where I lost the key

Now my face is a question mark

Lit by code in the quiet dark (mm-mm)

Under the lens, I start to split

Truth on my tongue,

blood on my lip

All of the thoughts I buried deep Climb through the static while

I sleep

If the screen is watching back Let it see what I can’t

say All my hidden weather cracks Spilling silver on my face Hold

me where the signal bends

I am bare beneath the scan If the screen is watching back

Tell me I’m still more than that (oh-oh)

Take the lens out of my chest Let the wires lose their

grip

I am more than proof and text

I am skin,

I am risk (ahhhh)

If the screen is watching back Let it see what I can’t

say All my hidden weather cracks Spilling silver on my face Hold

me where the signal bends

I am bare beneath the scan If the screen is watching back

Tell me I’m still more than that

I’m still more than that (oh-oh, ahhhh)

The glass goes black,

but I still breathe No lens can keep the whole of me (mm-mm)
