Shattered Glass

SHATTERED GLASS - Written by Carroll Bryant 

When you look at that face in the mirror

Does it smile back at you?

Or are you afraid of your own reflection?

Does it tell you the lies that you know are true?

Every time I think of what I could be

Electricity goes through my veins 

What I thought I saw I just didn't see

Electricity becomes the thing

That gets me through until the dawn

I'm not alone anymore

I found my heart

So, why do I cry?

Are they tears of joy?

Are they tears of slang?

Every time I dream of what I believe

Electricity runs through my bones

What I thought I knew and then later preconceived 

Electricity becomes the thing

That gets me through until dawn

I'm not with you anymore

I lost my mind

So, why do I even try?

Is it just a habit?

Where is it leading me?

Shattered glass all around my feet

N'tho I step on it

I can't make it bleed

I'm not afraid of it or so you hear me say

Sometimes I just don't know exactly what I mean

When you look at that face in the mirror

Does it smile back at you?

Or are you afraid of your own reflection?

Does it tell you the lies that you know are true?

Shattered glass all around my feet

N'tho I walk right through it

I still can't believe

My soul keeps searching the night 

To find the day

Sometimes I just don't know exactly what I need

Every time I think of what I could dream

Electricity travels to my brain

What I thought I heard you say wasn't what I thought to think

That electricity becomes again 

That gets me through until dawn

I'm not alone anymore

I found my heart

So, why do I cry?

Are they tears of joy?

Are they tears of slang?

Shattered glass all around my feet

Noises in the dark and I can't see

Air in my lungs and still I can't breathe

I'm not afraid of it 

When you look at that face in the mirror 

Is it smiling back at you?

Can you recognize the feeling?
