veins of glass

I put you in cage
then look in your eyes
cold reflects in the air and you cry
open up every scar
would I make it apart
you opened up your heart from the start
hiding from what you need in the deep
you closed your eyes, now you see
when you think about the weight of a star
it collapsed, leaving behind shadows that won't depart
hiding from what you need in the deep
you closed your eyes, now you see
in front of me there's your broken dreams
saving tears from my face but my heart weeps
the cold crept in and consumed your spark
and light was tossed in the dark
the weight of your need pulled me down
glass breaks when strain becomes its crown
heavy is the weight
shatter will the glass
that's the way a star exhausts
veins of glass, they crack, they glow through the ash
veins of glass, they crack, they glow through the ash
hiding from what you need in the deep
you closed your eyes, now you see
in front of me, there's your broken dreams
saving tears from my face but my heart weeps
