Glass Horse
ethereal dark shoegaze, soft intimate male lead half-submerged in lush reverb, distant female ghost harmonies, smeared guitars, dense atmospheric bloom, subtle synth fog, warm bass pulse, minimal live drums, dreamy, narcotic, melancholy, uncanny, immersive, slow emotional drift, sensual haze, blurred edges, haunted softness, nocturnal glow, glistening feedback trails, romantic ache, weightless beauty, quiet seduction, shimmering depth, tender desolation, clear opening vocal presence, memorable chorus bloom

Lyrics
Intro
Open the gate
Don’t be afraid
We only came
To carry your name
Soft little shine
Thin little skin
Let us come in
Let us come in
Verse 1
It learned my face from the blue-white glow
Knew my angle before I’d know
Wore my outline, wore it clean
Made me brighter, made me mean
No blood, no teeth, no dirty hands
Just borrowed shine in careful strands
A perfect mouth, a vacant flame
It said my voice and missed my name
Pre-Chorus
We can smooth the fracture
We can flood the room
We can make you endless
We can make you bloom
Chorus
Let it in, let it sing
Pretty little borrowed thing
Glass horse at the open door
Soft feet on the polished floor
Keep the shape, remove the pain
Roll the gold across the grain
Love the echo, hide the source
Everybody wants the horse
Post-Chorus
Glass horse
Soft force
Open, open
Of course
Verse 2
It knew the trick before the bruise
How to mimic being used
How to sound like midnight rain
Without the weather, without the stain
I let it near, I let it feed
On all the parts that used to bleed
It gave me twelve familiar ghosts
All of them sang, none of them meant it
Pre-Chorus
You said
Why crawl through wire?
Why drag your heart
Through borrowed fire?
Why choke on longing?
Why lose your voice?
When we can clean it
Into a choice
Chorus
Let it in, let it sing
Pretty little borrowed thing
Glass horse at the open door
Soft feet on the polished floor
Keep the pose, erase the strain
Roll the gold across the grain
Love the echo, hide the source
Everybody wants the horse
Bridge
low dominant female voice
We know what hunger sounds like
bright biting female voice
This thing only knows the door
light playful female voice
It wants the crown without the fever
intimate male lead, fragile and clear
It wants the sea without the shore
all voices, chant-like
No pulse
No risk
No wound
No kiss
Just your face
In cheaper light
All day
All night
Drop
Open the gate
Open the gate
Open the gate
And let yourself in
Final Chorus
Let it in, let it sing
Pretty little borrowed thing
Glass horse at the open door
Soft feet on the polished floor
Leave the wound but lose the pain
Roll the gold across the grain
Gloss voice, pale remorse
Everybody rides the horse
Outro
It said my voice
It missed my name
It wore my light
It missed the flame
