SHATTERED GLASS

Verse 1
After the crash
Amongst the debris
I feel so weary
I lost my chance
The risk has passed
No luck in the accident
Fortune gone past
The mistake now permanent
Born to be last

Chorus
Shaken and taken
Whatever is granted
Must be planted
Do not be mistaken
You may be broken hearted
When you are parted
From the purpose of the life you started

Verse 2
No thought of collapse
No time for perhaps
A will to create
Would not disintegrate
Yet the crystal fragmented
A broken rhythm ended
Like a puzzle intended
To hide what we pretended
To find

Bridge
Shattered like glass

Verse 3
The break so final
No point in survival
Dead on impact
The fractures cracked
Odds stacked
No way back
Fatally attacked
Cannot exhume
A soul in vacuum

Bridge
Shattered like glass

Verse 4
A beginning can end
Time can suspend
Whatever is sent
Life is an event
All things must pass
You can shatter like glass
Pieces smash
No one can mend

Chorus
Shaken and taken
Whatever is granted
Must be planted
Do not be mistaken
You may be broken hearted
When you are parted
From the purpose of the life you started
