River of Glass -

I’m sure that I’m fine but I heard there’s a bath in a river of glass so I’ll

take it

I’ve always known that the smiles that were shown were plastic and hollow lines

And I’ll be damned, your metaphor dollar-fed God got into my head

Hey now, plastics gather 'round now you’re waitin' with your hands out for the

blood flies to come and carry you home

Doubt is a crime and I caught me at last running circles in rounded-off places

Scanning for hope but these windows of gold play tricks on my eyes…

And I’ll be damned, your metaphor dollar-fed God got into my head

Hey now, plastics gather 'round now you’re waitin' with your hands out for the

blood flies to come and carry you

…why don’t we pull apart, look inside the curtains of origins that imitate

life

And where you are is where I’ll be floating arms of azure seize

Who will you inspire?

As I watch this world below, and the world I watch grows smaller and smaller

Fear and love all collide and all at once

The piper plays green tearing the sleeves pulled up from the sea and thrown

through the ceiling

Stepping stones so carefully untouched

You’ll only leave this world alone

Strange that you think you can fly

Strapped to a stone in a blinked needle’s eye

I’ll be damned, your all-time-low just lowered again

Hey now plastics gather round now you’re waitin' with your hands out,

waitin' for the war flies

Waitin' for the blood flies to come and carry you home
