ONE WAY WINDOW Lyrics

Looking out the window as time creates the past

Wish that i could join, but i must watch behind the glass

The world will spin without me, i just wish that i could visit

I don't trust my window because it's a perspective image

They see a reflection of themselves in the window

I see a reflection of my desire for my kinfolk

To feel the wind blow, i guess the mirror's one way

Lived my whole life in just one way, running from the gunplay

Neglectful of roulette, i could never roll the dice

My dad thought i could fly, so much that he told me twice

Sold me life, eye to eye my love, i knew she wanted me to dance

But i let go of her hand cuz im scared to take the chance

The brightest lights are blurry if you let them pass quickly

Can't reveal beneath my armor cuz my mask is me

Mold my skin like clay, and morph me until i'm numb

Grammy said it's not about who you were, it's about who you'll become

I'm the one

And i found myself victim to always running from the sun

If the world is always spinning, might be better to just let it scorch my skin

Than spend a life time running and hiding from what's within

So i begin

To reach out for the door, to finally go and meet some friends

But then thunder erupts the ground, and shiver shakes my skin

So i turn around and hide inside my room today again

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

I wanna leave this room

I wanna grow with you

But i'm scared to move

Don't let this be my tomb, no

Learn a lot but say a little

They amiss my mission, i'll disguise myself in riddles

My image not my own, i'll take the man outside the middle

I am not my worst mistake, i wanna live beyond a symbol

Water will wash away my name from the sand

Too much water will erode the hill and drown the plant

The tide will always carry waste back to shore

I can't escape the litter that will haunt me anymore

I spent my life watching the other kids play outside

I'm sorry mom, i know you never raised me to cower and hide

I bruised my skin and broke too many bones, a ridden home

I fabricated walls, and now i live in 'em alone

I fantasize a life beyond their bounds, if I'm ever found

But just cause you can swim doesn't mean that you cannot drown

Suddenly some bullets fly, and the kids outside are shot

I rush to leave this room to help but the door is locked

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

One way mirror and a window

I wanna leave this room

I wanna grow with you

But I'm scared to move

Don't let this be my tomb, no

I wanna leave this room

I wanna grow with you

But I'm scared to move

Don't let this be my tomb, no
