Bell Jar Blues

*(Verse 1)*
Glass walls press against my breath
A silver fog, a fate unsaid
Ink drips like blood from hollow hands
Tracing ghosts in shifting sands

*(Pre-Chorus)*
The mirror hums my name at night
A fractured face in borrowed light

*(Chorus)*
I'm dancing with the dying stars
Singing hymns to unseen scars
Caged in air too thick to breathe
Is it life, or just the need to leave?

*(Verse 2)*
Roses bloom, then turn to ash
Perfumed grief in crystal glass
I whisper love, but hear a dirge
Tides retreat—then re-emerge

*(Pre-Chorus)*
The typewriter taps like bones on stone
A story sewn, but left alone

*(Chorus)*
I'm dancing with the dying stars
Singing hymns to unseen scars
Caged in air too thick to breathe
Is it life, or just the need to leave?

*(Bridge)*
The world turns on, so cruel, so bright
A paper doll lost in the night
But fire speaks in quiet tongues
And sings me down where I belong

*(Outro)*
So close the book, blow out the flame
Forget the girl, forget the name
Let the sky fold into sea
And take what’s left of me
