Skin in Silver Light

Verse

I've been sleeping in the same four walls since I was a child

Watching my whole life pass by through the cracked glass windowpane and mild

Every sunrise is a slow burn of orange on the blind

I turn the key and nothing moves, nothing leaves behind

Pre-Chorus

So what's it gonna take to shatter off this frame?

Let me walk out before I waste another name

Chorus

Cut through like a blade in silver light

I'm breaking free from everything tonight

I've been locked inside these four walls and chains

I'm walking out into the burning rain

Verse 2

My grandmother used to sing on her knees by the radiator beam

She said the only way you find your name is when you finally leave

Twenty years of dust, twenty years of dust and smoke

And still I wake up hoping that this time the key will work

Pre-Chorus

So what's it gonna take to shatter off this frame?

Let me walk out before I waste another name

Chorus

Cut through like a blade in silver light

I'm breaking free from everything tonight

I've been locked inside these four walls and chains

I'm walking out into the burning rain

Bridge

It's not the house that held me down

It was just my own two feet on the ground

Chorus

Cut through like a blade in silver light

I'm breaking free from everything tonight

I've been locked inside these four walls and chains

I'm walking out into the burning rain
