Glass in My Veins

Lyrics

Verse 1
You point a finger at my name
Like I’m the fire, like I’m the flame
But you lit the match, you fed the night
Then left me here to pay the price

I saw your hands shake, saw your grin
Saw you drag the whole room down again
Now you want a face to blame
So you can sleep with a cleaner shame

Pre-Chorus
I’m not the wreck you built
I’m not your cross to kill
You drink it like a lie
Then call it my goodbye

Chorus
Blame the hands
Not the cup
Blame the hands
That never get enough
I need a break
I need air
I need out
I need somewhere
Blame the hands
Not the cup
That’s how I live
That’s how I get up

Verse 2
I’ve been the secret in your mouth
I’ve been the thing you talk down about
While you vanish in the same old smoke
And leave me choking on your joke

I’ve seen good hearts turned to rust
I’ve seen faith get chewed to dust
You said it’s poison, said it’s sin
But you were the one pouring it in

Pre-Chorus
I’m not the wreck you built
I’m not your cross to kill
You drink it like a lie
Then call it my goodbye

Chorus
Blame the hands
Not the cup
Blame the hands
That never get enough
I need a break
I need air
I need out
I need somewhere
Blame the hands
Not the cup
That’s how I live
That’s how I get up

Bridge
When the walls close in
And the floor gives way
I don’t need your sermon
I need one clean day

So save your curse
Save your stare
I’ve been surviving
In the damage you wear

Final Chorus
Blame the hands
Not the cup
Blame the hands
That never get enough
I need a break
I need air
I need out
I need somewhere
Blame the hands
Not the cup
That’s how I live
That’s how I get up

Blame the hands
(Blame the hands)
Not the cup
(Not the cup)
I’m still here
I’m still up
