Glasshouse Bloodline Part 2

Lyrics

Verse 1
There was no dad at home
Just the sound of slammed doors
My mom bit her lip till it split the floor
My sister held my hand like it was a prayer
And I learned to go still when you walked in
My mom kept flinching at the door
My sister learned to swallow more
And I learned silence like a prayer
No father’s voice—just broken air

Pre-Chorus
I still hear the plates
I still hear the shouting
I count every crack in the wall just to breathe
I learned how to vanish
Without ever leaving
A ghost in a house that remembers me

Chorus
Glasshouse Bloodline, you broke us the same
Every shattered piece still carries your name
I was just a child in the crossfire pain
But I’m not gonna live in your echo again
Empty hallway, I learned to hide
Somewhere between the fear inside
But I won’t go quiet, I won’t stay small
I’m not disappearing for you at all

Verse 2
Our eldest brother stood so tall
Like a shield out in the hall
He said, “Not them. Not now.” — all we had
Then he left when I was five
And the house went black
Footsteps heavy like thunder rolling
Keys in the lock, and my chest starts folding
Tried to be small, tried not to exist
Measured my breath so I wouldn’t be missed
Love felt sharp like broken glass
Warm for a second, then it would pass
And every “sorry” just reset the game
Different day, but it felt the same

Pre-Chorus 2
He used his voice like stones
Threw them straight through us
My mom cleaned the mess with her shaking hands
My sister learned to hide in the bathroom light
I counted the cracks just to understand

Chorus
Glasshouse Bloodline, you broke us the same
We still remember, we still feel the flame
I was too small, I was too afraid
But I survived every hand you raised
Empty hallway, don’t call my name
Every echo still sounds the same
But I won’t stay frozen in that place
I’m walking out—I’m changing the frame

Bridge
I still flinch when doors slam hard
Still carry pieces, still wear the scars
But I’m not living there tonight
I made it out—I’m still alive
I used to measure every sound
Now I choose what I allow
The walls don’t hold me like they did
I’m not that silent kid

Final Chorus
Glasshouse Bloodline, ends with me
You don’t get to define my memory
I was only a child in your pain
But I’m not your house, I’m not your name
Glasshouse Bloodline, I break the chain
You don’t get to live in my veins
Empty hallway fades behind
You don’t get to hold my mind

Outro
I keep your shadow small—I won’t let it grow
My mom’s still breathing through what you broke
My sister survived with fire in her eyes
And I remain
Yeah… I remain
