Everything Looks Better Through Shattered Glass

Everything looks better through shattered glass
My reflection is bright and glowing
And it bounces around
Like the man on the moon
My blood is ready and redder
And the shards of glass
Embedded in my palms
Look like diamonds around your girlfriend’s throat
She’s choking on her precious stones
But I’m too busy admiring
My many facets in this shattered glass
