Two Glass Wolves

[Verse 1]
I lock the door, I hear me pace
One hand cold, one hand in flame
A cracked-up mirror on the sink
Shows two versions in the frame
One says run, one says stay
Both got knives made out of names
I bite my tongue till it bleeds
Trying to keep the beasts contained

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the split in my chest
Like thunder under skin
Every time I choose a side
The other one comes in

[Chorus]
Two glass wolves
In my ribs, in my ribs
Two glass wolves
And I don’t know which is which
One says burn it down
One says beg for grace
Two glass wolves
And they both wear my face

[Verse 2]
On the floor, my boots untied
Bills on the chair, dust on the keys
I hear my father in my throat
I hear my mother in my teeth
One half knows how to forgive
One half wants to draw blood
I keep a smile on my mouth
While a war keeps rising up

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the split in my chest
Like thunder under skin
Every time I choose a side
The other one comes in

[Chorus]
Two glass wolves
In my ribs, in my ribs
Two glass wolves
And I don’t know which is which
One says burn it down
One says beg for grace
Two glass wolves
And they both wear my face

[Bridge]
I have been both the cage and the key
I have been the wound and the thread
If I cut one voice loose tonight
Will the silence leave me dead?
So I stand where the fault line shakes
Hands clenched hard, eyes open wide
If I break, I break in truth
If I stay, let me choose my side

[Final Chorus]
Two glass wolves
In my ribs, in my ribs
Two glass wolves
And I don’t know which is which
One says burn it down
One says beg for grace
Two glass wolves
And they both wear my face

Two glass wolves
In my ribs, in my ribs
Two glass wolves
I can name them, I can face
One says burn it down
One says beg for grace
Two glass wolves
And I’m learning to stay2
