Glass Soldier - Vampcat JayVee (OFFICIAL LYRICS VIDEO)

Glass Soldier - Vampcat JayVee ​[Verse 1] I kept my velvet jacket painted bright and clean The prettiest doll that you had ever seen You wound the silver key right into my spine And told me that the stage was beautifully mine I danced on the chalk lines you drew on the board Playing the tune that your fingers adored I never looked up at the wires in the roof I just stayed quiet and bulletproof ​[Chorus] But look at the ballroom, it’s tilting away The paint on my knuckles is turning to gray A velvet magician with knots in his hands I’m dancing as fast as your music demands So why does it feel like I’m heavy as stone In this whimsical circus you built on your own? ​[Verse 2] Then came the twilight I noticed the dust The gears in my shoulder were starting to rust You gave the same speech to the toys on the floor While locking the key to the heavy back door You didn't want magic, you wanted a play A tiny performer who couldn't run away You tangled the threads just to see how I’d bend And laughed at the pieces you promised to mend ​[Chorus] But look at the ballroom, it’s tilting away The paint on my knuckles is turning to gray A velvet magician with knots in his hands I’m dancing as fast as your music demands So why does it feel like I’m heavy as stone In this whimsical circus you built on your own? ​[Bridge] You poured out the tea from a kettle of ice And told me the loneliness came with a price But I saw the scissors you hid in your sleeve The master of shadows who wouldn't leave And now that I’m heavy, and now that I wake I am the toy that you’re not gonna break ​[Outro] The music has stopped. The strings have been cut. The door to the toy shop is permanently shut. You think that you left me with nowhere to stand? Watch me drop all the weight from your hand. If the shelf is gonna break, let the gravity pull... I’m shattering the teacups till the floor is completely full.
