Shattered Glass

Sylvia, I thought I told you
Not to leave the landing light on
So we run
Because they're coming through the exits
Breaking all the doors down
Shattering the glass panes
Screaming different questions
You're whispering in my ear
"I don't want to die here
You said they'd never catch us"

You are a victim to your superstition
Your heavy-middleweight intuition
With every footstep hear your heartbeat quicken
Screaming "This is where it stops"

That I can't break through
To your heart
Is my affliction
I can't break through
To you.

Sylvia, I thought I told you
Not to leave the landing light on
Just grab what you can
Run for your life
Everything that we feared
Is coming back to catch us
They don't know what we've done
And they don't know why we're here
They're just trained to hate us

So we run
Because they're coming through the exits
Breaking all the doors down
Shattering the glass panes
Screaming different questions
You're whispering in my ear
"I don't want to die here
You said they'd never catch us"

Just take the money and run for your life
Your hopes and fears are standing staring you in your eyes
We never could have made a habit just getting by
Because I know it was never quite enough

That I can't break through
To your heart
Is my affliction
From my sad, lonely tower
Where your soul is my addiction
I can't break through
To you.
