lyrics

Do you see the shadow of illusions we shared?
Stretched across the ground laid bare
I’m out of time so I shatter the glass
And feel the sand move over my hands

Shatter
I will never return to this
Shatter
Porcelain skin of promises
The ego is a criminal frozen in a lie
You shatter
You shatter every time

I am lost so I shut my eyes
To better see from the inside
I am wounded so I sew my skin
Blood red as it seals up again

Shatter
I will never return to this
Shatter
Porcelain skin of promises
The ego is a criminal frozen in a lie
You shatter
You shatter every time

You shatter
You shatter

I only wanted to be loved
Never needed to be liked
A shallow pit of vipers
All squirming in spite
And they can laugh if they want
They can laugh, they can laugh
But they’re hideous
I get up like this

Shatter
I will never return to this
Shatter
Porcelain skin of promises
The ego is a criminal frozen in a lie
You shatter
You shatter every time

You shatter
You shatter
Shatter
Shatter
Shatter
