Glass Castles

Such a fool inside you are You've built your castle of glass On sinking quicksand Sadly now it falls With all the stones you've tossed at me I've added them to my arsenal Now that I've started launching back Your cracks they begin to show The foundation of your lies are all starting to sink Quickly they get pulled down You have no walls to hide behind I see the spiderwebs spreading out I hear the glass as it's shattering A little piece by piece There goes your entire life Your bedrock of lies diminishing Those who live in glass castles Should never toss stones For glass it reflects back The weight of ten times fold Never build your dreams and hopes On a foundation of lies and deceit For the truth will someday show Under shady and shoddy concrete You said you loved me What a lie that that you told You promised me as your queen In a castle made for a iron fisted fool Every little wall you built Was suppose to protect and last Now it lays in ruin In a pile of sand and glass
