Broken Glass (2007) - The Boxer Rebellion

Unconscious in waves

Short sighted when you wake up

Given over to thieves

Deserted when you won’t agree

Withered down to your shell

A brave face for your last farewell

And whatever you say

Subscribed to too much way too late

And I break apart

Broken Glass

Through my heart

We’ll toast

Convenient lies

When everyone

Is occupied

You’re animated at ease

Anything for those you try to please

And I’m wearing thin

From what I cannot keep in

And I break apart

Broken Glass

Through my heart

We’ll toast

Convenient lies

When everyone

Is occupied

(Bridge)

You make up more than I can tell

Even someone that I know so well

Branding everything a cheap come down

The marked offender who fucks around

I get the message, the buckled knees

The voice of reason that I concede

The candidate in a losing race

Forced to blackmail to save some face

But I know

And I break apart

Broken Glass

Through my heart

We’ll toast

Convenient lies

An everyone

Is occupied
