Shattered Glass

Shards on the ground broken in my hands

Dust in the lungs can't make a stand

Lost it all lost it again

Cracks in the mirror where do I begin

Shattered glass shattered dreams

Cut my skin stitch my seams

Every piece tells the tale

Of a life gone off the rails

Static hum buzzes in my head

Echoes of words I wish I never said

Climbing up just to fall back down

King with no crown just a face in the crowd

Why does it burn why does it sting

Why does the silence always sing

Shattered glass shattered dreams

Cut my skin stitch my seams

Every piece tells the tale

Of a life gone off the rails

Fragile walls I built so high

Fall apart as I ask why

Each reflection a new disguise

Truth hides deep behind my eyes
