lyrics

Don't drop me,
You've held me too high.
I'd fall fast as a stone in the sky.
When I hit the ground,
I'd shatter and clang
Killing the shadows we claimed;
The phantoms we've made
When light hit the dark.
You could see how I see,
These walls can talk.
Open me up, I'm straight
To the the heart.
Let the blindness subside.
We're the color of air.
You can see through our flesh
In the light of our breaths.

I surround. I'm surrounded.
The world runs right through me
Like I am not there.
I'm shapeless without you,
The color of air.
Don't break me
With the sun in my hands
I'd fall discreetly to pieces
Like sprawled grains of sand.

I just want you to see how I see.
It's all that I ask.
Feeling your weight
In my body of glass.

My body of glass...

When you look at me,
You can see how you're seen,
Like you're deep in my making,
A streak from a flame.
Our bodies are different,
Though they feel the same.
In motion together
We separately change.
We're undefined, a vapor,
Same color as air.
Playing a form
To find reason to care.

The world runs right through me,
I'm straight to the heart.
When light bursts inside me,
It pulls me apart.
I'm open for you,
These walls can talk.
See how I see,
The perception of how I am shaped?
The need of reflection
how easy it breaks?

I surround. I'm surrounded.
The world runs right through me
Like I am not there.
I'm shapeless without you,
The color of air.
Don't break me,
With the sun in my hands
I'd fall discreetly to pieces
Like sprawled grains of sand.

I just want you to see how I see.
It's all that I ask.
Feeling your weight
In my body of glass.

My body of glass...
