Glasshouse Stare

Verse 1
In the Glass House walls, the silence is loud,
A general walked in, head lowered but proud.
We all knew his story, the crime that he bore,
Some sins you can’t hide, some you can’t ignore.

Pre-Chorus
He tried to say “hi,” like the past wasn’t there,
But the weight of his secret hung heavy in the air.

Chorus
One stare, no words to say,
The truth in his eyes wouldn’t walk away.
One stare, the silence burned,
He turned back around, never returned.
That night he was gone,
Justice was done… with one stare.

Verse 2
I stood at the urn, coffee cup in my hand,
He looked straight at me, but he couldn’t withstand.
No threat, no shout, no fist in the fight,
Just the mirror of conscience in a soldier’s eyes.

Pre-Chorus
No rank, no command, no mask left to wear,
Only guilt and the silence he couldn’t repair.

Chorus
One stare, no words to say,
The truth in his eyes wouldn’t walk away.
One stare, the silence burned,
He turned back around, never returned.
That night he was gone,
Justice was done… with one stare.

Bridge
Not a word, not a sound,
But the weight pulled him down.
In the still of the night,
He surrendered the fight.

Final Chorus
One stare, cut through the lies,
A soul couldn’t run from its own disguise.
One stare, his fate was sealed,
A justice no gavel could ever reveal.
That night he was gone,
Justice was done… with one stare.

Outro
One stare…
Just one stare…
And the silence spoke for us all.
