Waking from a crash of glass
Sweat pouring...hands attending
In this bright room where whispers pass
I slowly feel myself descending
You thought that only words could break me
But glass, metal, time, rain
Mingled in one reckless moment
Left me scarred, seared with pain
Somewhere in my shattered mind
Where illusion can only take me now
Scenery changed just like our lives
No one will note my final bow
You thought that only words could break me
Racing from your angry glance
Bizarre, the slow lid's eerie closing
White bulb swaying on a final dance
