If only you could see me now Instead of this emotional wall Solid grey stone upon chiseled stone Imposing and oppressive I see myself in this wall I can see my mistakes Written in stone and reflected Like a mirror staring back at me Anger and pain met with hatred Resentment for what I was What I am; who we are All I have said and done I see too much of me Too much of the sadness and disdain Melancholy and anger I deserve no better I built this wall to keep things out But they still break through Like a stone through glass This glass fortress It reflects my memories back at me Painfully unforgettable moments Visions of shattered emotions Like a stained glass mural torn asunder And all those glass fragments do Is cut back at me, slicing deep And the crumbling wall crushes me Brick by brick by brick Until I get what I deserved all along

Of Glass Walls and Shattered Nightmares
If only you could see me now Instead of this emotional wall Solid grey stone upon chiseled stone Imposing and oppressive I see myself in this wall I can see my mistakes Written in stone and reflected Like a mirror staring back at me Anger and pain met with hatred Resentment for what I was What I am; who we are All I have said and done I see too much of me Too much of the sadness and disdain Melancholy and anger I deserve no better I built this wall to keep things out But they still break through Like a stone through glass This glass fortress It reflects my memories back at me Painfully unforgettable moments Visions of shattered emotions Like a stained glass mural torn asunder And all those glass fragments do Is cut back at me, slicing deep And the crumbling wall crushes me Brick by brick by brick Until I get what I deserved all along
