marbelite - glasshouse figures lyrics

[verse 1]
you’re standing by the window
tracing cracks with your nails
like they’re maps of places we’ll never visit
you laugh when you say
we built this frame with trembling hands

the saints on the shelf look tired
their eyes chipped like ours
we keep avoiding the rain, though
its creeping in under the doors, mhmm
and you talk about your fears like its a story you wrote
but never finished
i listen like i always do
with one hand on the door
while echoes gather on the floor
the other clenched in my pocket
gripping words i will never

[chorus]
my hands shake, but not enough to show
the weight of your words i bury down below
i laugh too loud, choking on air
hiding traces of my quiet despair
you talk too loud when the room gets quiet
i answer with silence
bad habits wrapped up in smiles
[verse 2]
you leave the dishes half done
stacks leaning like they’re tired
and i sit in the yard staring at a sky too heavy to hold
we’re masters of running in place
tripping over words
like landmines we buried in our minds

[bridge]
but i like the way you breathe
when the room gets small
busy holding back tears
promised you’d never let them fall
and i like the way you smile
like a house left in half light
unspoken dreams we rewrite every night

[chorus]
my hands shake, but not enough to show
the weight of your words i bury down below
i laugh too loud choking on air
hiding traces my quiet despair
you talk too loud when the room gets quiet
i answer with silence
bad habits dressed up in smiles
