Cracking Glass

Cracking Glass Your mind fills like a glass Always taking never ask Never asking questions and never drawing lines Never turning forwards, just staring far behind You crack and break and bend and press You chase and burn and scratch but yet Walls crumble and never stand They’re built of rubble and pure clear sand You’re pushing and you’re turning Clear as shiny day You’re shoving and you’re twisting No one shall look your way Not under glitter and gold And old stories that once were told Ignore the signs and hardships Ignore your cracking glass Reasoning overflows and the whole world shall learn Your vices feel like agony Rereading each and every verse You cry and scream and beg and wish But deep down you know what's whole A hope of that words can tame that face They can make it feel just fine Your glass is nearly full, nobody knows better Your back is like a bridge you see One built hard and strong simply to outlast One built to stretch right over the semblance of your past Your hands and feet are stepping stones Their heels will dig too deep Your shoulders made for climbing on Your knees they bend too weak Your eyes they blink and shut showing you truly are to meek Eager and hopeful you blink and you stare Your mind has reached its brink Your glass has overfilled Nobody is aware of what you think Not until you draw that line Not unless your seen Your mind will flood and you will swim Because you’re just like me
