Breaking Glass
My heart is able to be shattered
It's gentle and fragile
And the immense angers keeps it shaking violently
My mother tried to repair it with love
My father tried to harden it with work
My brother tried to weaken it with pain
But all in all, my heart was just incapable
Of anything much yellower than being soft
And it cracked in two when people wanted too much
The wind blows right through the holes in my heart
Whistling the saddest, loneliest songs of a lifetime
The melody is blue and gray with no hints of yellow
My mother tried to mend it with her touch
My father tried to glue it with wood glue
My brother tried to mend it with a drill
I put on my heart a Band-aid
And overtop, all over a bandage wrap
Waiting for the raw flesh to heal right
Soon my bones will be dead too
I am able to be shattered
By people, strangers and all dangers
My mother tried to revive me with mothering
My father tried to start me up with all his pity
My brother tried to zombie me with illegalities
But still I stay with a taped heart
All alone in silence I stand
As blue and gray as a used to be yellow person with a glass heart
It's gentle and fragile
And the immense angers keeps it shaking violently
My mother tried to repair it with love
My father tried to harden it with work
My brother tried to weaken it with pain
But all in all, my heart was just incapable
Of anything much yellower than being soft
And it cracked in two when people wanted too much
The wind blows right through the holes in my heart
Whistling the saddest, loneliest songs of a lifetime
The melody is blue and gray with no hints of yellow
My mother tried to mend it with her touch
My father tried to glue it with wood glue
My brother tried to mend it with a drill
I put on my heart a Band-aid
And overtop, all over a bandage wrap
Waiting for the raw flesh to heal right
Soon my bones will be dead too
I am able to be shattered
By people, strangers and all dangers
My mother tried to revive me with mothering
My father tried to start me up with all his pity
My brother tried to zombie me with illegalities
But still I stay with a taped heart
All alone in silence I stand
As blue and gray as a used to be yellow person with a glass heart
