coloured glass (demo)

lyrics

Feels like my chest is October, each leaf a passing note
They pile up like an organ, pushing music through my throat
I make friendly conversation so I don't feel alone
But I don't talk about what I might know
And I try not to think about what I don't

I break apart when you see me waking up like colored glass
You smile soft like an open window, morning blooming from your laugh
Water's pouring from the stone now, your voice is a holy staff
Dark red sound interrupting the black
Your quiet whisper telling me to come back

I was terrified and angry when you found me in our room
You tried holding me together but I unfolded like a wound
You cut your palm like we were brothers and we both howled at the moon
I never really, truly prayed before you
But now everything we say comes true
