lyrics

early in the morning
see the clouds perform in, the sunlight
everyone is mourning
seems were more important, when we die

is this all a joke, or a sad truth?
turned your bed of snow, into a glass room
hid within its walls are your feelings
safe and sound from all of your demons

and when i lose you, then i lose myself
what am i to do when ice starts to melt?
subtract the odds, and get even?
or sit back and watch, as you're sinking

days turn into moments
conversations drone as time speeds by
body keeps on going
but the heart and soul get left behind

do you wanna choke, and let it trap you?
or escape the throes of your glass noose
everyone becomes a fleeting
memory to us in the end

but if i lose you, then i lose myself
what am I to do, when you're someone else?
pupils black, enlarged, and all feelings
turn to glassy shards that you breathe in
