The mirror’s cracked and bleeding, but it’s only my reflection
(Underneath )
I wear my old confessions like a throat full of infection
I build my walls from panic, line the halls with dread
Sleep with the lights on, keep the monsters in my head
There’s voices in the corners, shadows in the phone
I count the pills, count the steps, but I’m never alone
My grip is slipping, the room starts to tilt
Paranoia’s a comfort—fear’s the bed I’ve built
⸻
Glass jaw, glass mind
I shatter when I scream
Every piece cuts deeper, nothing is what it seems
I punch my own shadow, beg it to fight
But I only bleed out, night after night
Don’t try to help me—don’t open that door
If you reach for my pieces, I’ll cut you for sure
This isn’t a phase, it’s the cage and the flaw
You can’t save a heart with a glass jaw
I hear footsteps I never remember making
Feel cold fingers underneath my skin even while I’m shaking
Trust is a razor I keep pressed to my tongue
Speak in broken riddles, bleed out when I’m done
Every memory’s poison, every hope is a trick
The monster wears my face, the monster’s too quick
Walls closing in, ceiling caving down
If I could run from myself, I’d torch this whole town
(Underneath ) Don’t tell me “it’s nothing”—I know how it ends
(Underneath ) The cracks grow wider, I lose all my friends
(Underneath ) All I can offer is fragments and rage
(Underneath ) You can hold the pieces, but you can’t stop the break
(Underneath ) Glass jaw, glass mind
(Underneath ) The shatter is mine
(Underneath ) I’d rather break on my own than let you try to bind
(Underneath ) So stand in the hallway, watch from afar
(Underneath ) You can’t love the splinters
Underneath a glass jaw
Don’t tell me “it’s nothing”—I know how it ends
The cracks grow wider, I lose all my friends
All I can offer is fragments and rage
You can hold the pieces, but you can’t stop the break
