I'm scared
my mind transcends my body
I'm scared
of the empty spaces left inside
Because it only takes
a few drops of unrequested pain
to make me believe I can wash my sins in the rain
I'm getting tired of burning bridges
when I can see your shadow on the other side
People give away their lives for so little
and spend the days running away from something divine
I really don't mind
having a heart of glass
that will be broken so many times
drinking my sorrows in a wine glass
So I will speak my mind
and run away so fast
then I'll leave my fears behind
while I break life's hourglass
What happens if you finally choose to stay?
I should've built higher walls to keep expectations away
A flash of images, but I don't know what to say
I had gone a long way
it gives and takes away
I really don't mind
having a heart of glass
that will be broken so many times
drinking my sorrows in a wine glass
So I will speak my mind
and run away so fast
then I'll leave my fears behind
while I break life's hourglass
I want to be judged by my mistakes
maybe there are some you can relate
you'll be aware of how it aches
to put yourself to sleep every single day
