Glass Casualty

Hey... I know you're there I don't where there is But you said you're not here right now Where is here Hmm... These questions we have If I could relax Not stumble and collapse Maybe then I could find My truth Weighed down to the floor The answer I long for Gets further with every step I take Dreams call me away Like songbirds made of clay In the shade of the tree My shadow can agree That acclimation swallows You whole Missing all of my cues Trip over vacant shoes Withered from all the miles We’ve shared Reflections feel the pain Of lives they can’t sustain Glass casualty I wish it wasn’t me I gaze into the mirror Confused, lost Alienated by the stranger in front of me "You're supposed to be me" I say As my accusational stare Is met with a pair Of lifeless eyes "And you're supposed to be you" he responds With an honesty That casts a guilt Too heavy to bear All this becomes too much As I shatter Into a million fractured shards
