Last night
I stare at my reflection in the shattered glass
Unfamiliar sunken eyes stare back
The razor blade cuts such perfect lines
Through the snow
Off I go
I feel the earth roll off my shoulders
A heart beating in perfect rhythm
With the greatest song I've ever heard
With the greatest people I've ever known
A grin that only grows
This euphoric flight in the depth of night
The only thing to stop us is the sun's early light
Unbreakable, invincible, I can't stop
If only I could grasp it and hold it tight
But it's like trying to grip water
It slips away
And it's back, the massive weight
And this song is playing out of tune
Too loud
These sad faces like shadows around me
Reality digs its claws into you and rips you down
You've never fallen so far
So I close my eyes and try to think no more
