Shattered Glass Houses

I've been awake for two days straight
Trapped in my mind
Built this home and sit upon this throne
But I can't see through the blinds
Sunlight ain't no friend to me
Only darkness all around
I could whisper so loud
And shatter this glass house

Can the truth be absolute
Or is it relative to my point of view
Have I had to much forbidden fruit
Can I see deception disguised as an opportune
Moment to trap my conscience in a guilt-ridden room
Filled with anger and hatred and fear of the unknown
Watered and grown into a monster of my own
Reflection, I'm guessing, the universe's message
Wasn't in the lecture I was given as a child in school
Drown in other peoples' thoughts in a pool
Sunlight still won't beam to me
Tears fall but don't make a sound
I could cry so loud
And shatter this glass house

Distorted visions
I can't be persistent I'm really pretending
That I'm on a mission to break out this prison
When I can admit that I've been
Erasing lines of infinity and perfect symmetry
On these glass walls, forgetting the sacred geometry
Of my inner being, and all in between
Afflicted with madness, contemporary Alice
Shadow dancing in the darkness
Black silhouette, what do you regret
Are you really that heartless
Moonlight won't even beam to me
Still darkness all around
I'm about to scream so loud
And shatter this glass house

Now I'm going for a walk, out of my mind
Past the broken trees and the frozen leaves
To the cave of dying dreams and insomniac tendencies
Surrounded by other lost beings, with visions of being free
To create a reality seldom seen on a TV screen
This is Plato's Allegory
For the fortunate enough to remember the glory
Of where we come from, our origin story
Can't buy enough thrill to last from here
To the top of the hill, even still
Sunlight won't you sing to me
I just wanna see your smile
I feel like I can breathe right now
That I broke through this glass house

Walking through these lucid ruin feeling like the student
Becoming the teacher, healer of cerebral problems
Seeker of forbidden knowledge
Dreamer of what isn't promised
Staring in the void
Between my mind and the world
Wait for it to be destroyed
So I can feel the peace I once felt as a boy
Returning to the essence of my nature, psychic vibrations
Take a substance that I can't escape from pupil dilation
Sunlight I can hear you breathe
Through the faces in the crowd
Tryna figure out how
To forget this glass house

Immortal visions
No longer resistant I can't be pretending
Really on a mission I feel like a mystic
I'm fixing this system wired in my head
Constructing a safety net for the road that lies ahead
Sweeping up the glass
Banishing all of the ghosts of my past
The demons running fast
Peace in the madness, I still feel like Alice
The light is returning, now I'm feeling balanced
Black silhouette, how could you forget
You were never really heartless
Sunlight finally kissed my cheek
No darkness all around
I'm about to smile so proud
Now that I left that glass house
