Throwing Glass Lyrics

The city sleeps

I'm back home again

Sidewalks slick

With rain and oil and crime scene chalk

Washing away

Through the curb and to the grate

To make its way back to whence it came

In my house of stone

I'm throwing glass

A kaleidoscope of shards

Slicing through the past

In your house of straw

I'll light the match

And huff and puff and howl

And dissolve upon impact

Thick wisteria hangs in the breeze

Choking back the cloud of vengeance hanging between you and me

In my house of stone

I'm throwing glass

A kaleidoscope of shards

Slicing through the past

In your house of cards

Built on politics and tact

I'll shake the foundation

And dissolve on impact

Never leaving home again, I'm never leaving home

Underneath the bridge where the lights won't shine

I'll scratch out my thoughts and scratch them from my mind

Underneath the bridge where the lights refuse to shine

I'll scratch out memories then scratch out my eyes

Lights won't shine

Lights won't shine

Scratch my eyes

I've heard of this clandestine shelter (Did I really think that I'm an army of one, always holding out, never holding on)

Free from the reach of prey and predator (Did I really think that I'm an army of one, never reaching out, never reaching up)

Much like my

Light won't shine

Light won't shine

Scratch out my eyes
