Shatter from Silhouettes by Yama Uba

Do you see the shadow of illusions we shared
Stretched across the ground laid bare?
I’m out of time so I shatter the glass
And feel the sand move over my hands

Shatter
I will never return to this
Shatter
Porcelain skin of promises
The ego is a criminal frozen in a lie
You shatter
You shatter every time

I am lost so I shut my eyes
to better see from the inside
I am wounded so I sew my skin
blood red as it seals up again

But you shatter
I will never return to this
Shatter
Porcelain skin of promises
The ego is a criminal frozen in a lie
You shatter
You shatter every time

I only wanted to be loved
Never needed to be liked
A shallow pit of vipers all squirming in spite
And they can laugh if they want
They can laugh, they can laugh
But they’re hideous
I get up like this

Shatter
I will never return to this
Shatter
Porcelain skin of promises
The ego is a criminal frozen in a lie
You shatter
You shatter every time

Shatter
You shatter
