Backstory: Gentle Injury originated in the bustling city of Seattle, Washington in the year 2005. The band’s main members, lead vocalist and guitarist Isaac Thompson and bassist Paul “Skid” McKnight met at a local record store. Sharing a common love for grunge and alternative rock, they decided to form a band that would mirror their musical influences yet stand out with its unique experimental sound. Drummer Will “Pixie” Denvers and keyboardist Michelle “Red” Reyes were later added to the lineup, solidifying the band’s sound and direction.

Genre: Alternative Rock / Experimental Rock

Title: “Glass Houses”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am Em
In the land of glass houses, we’re throwing stones
F G
Hoping to shatter the silence, we’re not alone
Am Em
In our hearts there’s a thunder, a violent storm
F G
Broken pieces start to fall, in the shape we’ve known

(Chorus)
C G
In the glass house we’ve built, reflections stare
Am Em
Echoing each choice, each cross we bear
F G
Underneath the moonlight, shadows share
C G
The story of a gentle injury, we learn to wear

(Verse 2)
Am Em
In the mirror of the glass, we’ve come to see
F G
The faces of our past, the people we used to be
Am Em
With every crack and break, a memory
F G
In the shards of our mistakes, lies our history

(Chorus)
C G
In the glass house we’ve built, time stands still
Am Em
Each reverberation, a silent thrill
F G
Underneath the starlight, our truth spills
C G
A testament of gentle injury, against our will

Bridge:
Dm C
In the silence we find, echoes of our mind
G Am
Each glass house a testament, to the ties that bind
Dm C
Built on shaky ground, in the fabric we’re wound
G Am
The gentle injury speaks, without a sound

(Chorus)
C G
In the glass house we’ve built, we find our worth
Am Em
From the rubble of our past, comes a rebirth
F G
Underneath the sunlight, our story unfurls
C G
A chronicle of gentle injury, in a glass world.
