I could've easily murdered you,
But glass doesn't die, it just breaks.

And I could've easily killed you,
With of my hair of dark, green snakes.

That one unbearable, pale face stares
At me and I wish it could turn me to stone.

The lips that crack, the dry skin that tears
And that soulless look won't leave me alone.

I can see the tears behind their eyes
And the obsession with hiding them.

And I could've sworn I saw the lies
On the downturned lips from which they stem.

Turn away so I don't have to look
But the reflections are everywhere.

In vain was all the effort it took
To evade that killing need to care.

I pity the one behind the glass
Because they have to look back at me.

To take away the poisonous gas
Is a purpose that could set them free.

But I am not brave enough for that
Yes, it is selfish I already know.

I'd shred you to shards, but plans fall flat
Shards reflect, I couldn't let you go.

I could've easily murdered you,
But glass doesn't die, it just breaks.

And I could've easily killed you,
But that would mean I would never wake.
