Girl of Glass

Composed of an element so weak so frail

Every time she reaches for the sky

She fails

The escape from her shattered existence

Lies above out of her reach

But still sinking further and further

Into her own self-pity

The crack the cut the shattered tears

That hit the pavement

2x

In this crumbling existence

Like a champagne glass

Held together at its last seams

2x

With every try there's a little more bleeding

As her heart is leaking

The crack the cut the shattered tears

That hit the pavement

All she wants to do now is finish this

Tip the glass to the floor

Watch it shatter

So she will strive and strive

Reaching for the sky

As she cuts and bleeds

Waiting for the day she strives to be

This broken glass thrown into heaven
