Shatter the Boy

I didn't know you collected knives
Designed special to penetrate the spine
You got me trailing and open wide
Such a fool to think this ship was truly mine
I set myself on fire
Burning in the lights
Now I'm a face erased
So I'm sketching in some different eyes

Fasten me in
We're starting to spin
Mind the bruising
I'm still aching from the last
I called to the stars
And they came with a grin
But now the moon is sore
And won't answer back
Because I'm made of glass

I didn't know it was in my pledge
To stand and smile while the ceiling caved in
Now I'm the broken toy you sold for cents
Without a lesson how to read your mind and mend
Shaking in the basement
Falling down in shreds
Over paranoid
Avoiding uninvited friends

Drip drop, I'm melting
Need somewhere to flow
You've got no room with those
Contraptions in a stack
Your shoulders are frozen
And didn't you know
That to pull me in
Would surely leave a crack
Because I'm made of glass

Put me out on a limb
Out in the wind to fall
Keep on throwing your stones
Shatter my bones while I'm tall

I didn't notice the closing gate
As I vanished from the platform to run after the bait
