[Verse 2] What don't kill me, will just make me crazier I'm so filthy, sorry, I had to see me like this I sold you a lie that showed through my eyes It told you to cry a stained glass suicide They slowly chiseled down the walls we all hide behind It's only time before your secrets become weekend headlines But I'll be fine, suffocating on my own mask I just wish I could forget how to read between the cracks
[Interlude Speech 2] Perceptive, unethical, digested tunnel vision Methadone, real diamond cut tested Resurrected perfected by well respected professionals Head doctor, head hunter, scratchy surface Lost somewhere, accepted vulnerability Transparent, open [?]
[Repeat] You're living in a world made of windows and mirrors Losing safeguards covered crystallized tears In and out different images, same fear One day it's gonna shatter right here
I'm living in a world made of windows and mirrors Lucid safeguards cover crystallized tears In and out different images, same fear One day it's all gonna shatter And I hope you're right here
[Verse 3] Close both your eyes If we can Death to pride Lets begin I'm glass and Everything's a dream And I don't miss a thing Broken mirrors Don’t bring bad luck, they Cherish image How Do I look Any given day You can't kill me If you rebuild me You won't She won't He won't I gotta do it all alone again, goodbye You fled No one ever said There was any peace of mind in my head I’m dead Everybody lies and plays in time before they’re born again Wipe My Slate Clean, I wanna skate upon your pretty reddish skin and holler matrimony, mope she broke. And now we know enough about each other everything is shattered!
