Kissing the mirror stings
Don't pull at my heartstrings
Puppets can't cry tears
Love the puppeteers
I broke into her room
Scattered ancient tombs
Scarlett said it's not true
And I don't remember you
I advertise myself well
But the truth, I never tell
Is that the mastermind
Pretended to be so kind
Retroactively blind
Crying out for time
Touch me please, I plead
As I'm electrified and dead
Do all you want and all you need
I'm not here, I don't bleed
My limbs are useless heavy wood
My eyes are empty neighbourhoods
Until I invite you into my home
That is when you'll know
If you can learn anything from my past
It's "don't fuck shattered glass."
I write neon green words
I wish they meant the world
They were sputtered out at night
While he came and I cried
I erase all past records
Of my name and of my world
Of what I said and what I meant
Of my predicament
Everyone's been through hell
It's not special if you tell
So I keep it sad inside
And I wear sunglasses to cry
Because I don't fucking know
What happened years ago
I know a woman shattered glass
And I wouldn't be the last
Do all you want and all you need
I'm not here, I don't bleed
My limbs are useless heavy wood
My eyes are empty neighbourhoods
Until I invite you into my home
That is when you'll know
If you can learn anything from my past
It's "don't fuck shattered glass."
Do all you want and all you need
I'm not here, I don't bleed
My limbs are useless heavy wood
My eyes are empty neighbourhoods
Until I invite you into my home
That is when you'll know
If you can learn anything from my past
It's "don't fuck shattered glass."
