Life in Glass Houses, Pt. 2
I'm standing in this vacant room
With my shadow leaning up against my back
We whisper our memories
And the broken house we left behind
Now that was a darker time
But we're better for the days we lived through
I'll try not to scratch the floor
But the walls in here are still made of glass
The broken frames
And window panes
Still let the light in
When the sun awakes
Though the night is long
And bitter cold
We'll soon be warmed
By the skyward gold
And see ourselves
For what we are
Still breathing in
We've lived this far
As day by day carries on
So desperate to start again
Will we ever get the sleep we deserve
Battered and broken wings
Still stretch out to the sky seeking home
I can't let the pride in me
Cause a solitary crack in this room
This is my one last chance
To fix this mess and live my life once again
I will fly away
And I will take you with me
We'll search for where we belong
We'll find a new home that we can call our own
Desperate I'll fly
'Cause I can't let myself win
No I can't let myself win
I'm letting go of my past
And shining a light on the silhouettes in the room
Broken stairs can be replaced
And window sills repainted to show we're on the mend
Desperate I'll fly
'Cause I can't let myself win
No I can't let myself win
Desperate I'll fly
'Cause I can't let myself win
Noni can't let myself win
With my shadow leaning up against my back
We whisper our memories
And the broken house we left behind
Now that was a darker time
But we're better for the days we lived through
I'll try not to scratch the floor
But the walls in here are still made of glass
The broken frames
And window panes
Still let the light in
When the sun awakes
Though the night is long
And bitter cold
We'll soon be warmed
By the skyward gold
And see ourselves
For what we are
Still breathing in
We've lived this far
As day by day carries on
So desperate to start again
Will we ever get the sleep we deserve
Battered and broken wings
Still stretch out to the sky seeking home
I can't let the pride in me
Cause a solitary crack in this room
This is my one last chance
To fix this mess and live my life once again
I will fly away
And I will take you with me
We'll search for where we belong
We'll find a new home that we can call our own
Desperate I'll fly
'Cause I can't let myself win
No I can't let myself win
I'm letting go of my past
And shining a light on the silhouettes in the room
Broken stairs can be replaced
And window sills repainted to show we're on the mend
Desperate I'll fly
'Cause I can't let myself win
No I can't let myself win
Desperate I'll fly
'Cause I can't let myself win
Noni can't let myself win
