GLASS BOX
Watching closely as they avert their eyes.
Ignore the boy lost in space.
Let him drown in his own thoughts unkind.
Drain all the hope left in his mind.
The only remedy is to shut the door.
Pull closed the curtains, and hear no more.
All the joy that comes from love… it suffocates
Wonder if I’ll ever feel that way.
Because a look from the outside
feels like I’m trapped in a box on the wrong side.
A look from the inside and I feel it is my fault.
Stand tall and be strong these wall won’t let you fall
until, of course, you do.
Cracked under pressure, the water pours right in
Catch your breath and submerge
Because a look from the outside
feels like I’m trapped in a box on the wrong side.
A look from the inside and I feel it is my fault.
Inside this room I feel like I can’t hardly breathe
Fog up the glass inside this box
Hope one day some time soon I will talk to you
But until then I’ll just push on through…
