It's not a solid, not a soft thing
To pull the wool up like a smoke screen
Nobody does it like a prophet

It's gone before you know you lost it
There are reasons you keep your hands tied
There's certain things you shouldn't have tried

So if you gotta tell me something
You better go from the beginning


We all forget to sleep
And crash at someone's feet
Everybody skips a beat

We let the chances pass
The few we held so fast
Everybody breaks a glass


And here I'm standing in the middle
Not just a little but a hill-full

Wondering how I got a head cold
Wishing I didn't know what I know
It's never been about the money

We're worthy or we are not worthy
However much you've got on your plate
You're as good as you reciprocate


Scared to look at peers when they peer back
It's weird how we fear that

It's weird how we wear masks
It appears that we fear our own tears more than tear gas
My team's struggling in years past

Looking to draft beer to bring cheers back
But then the drinking game's finished
No Guinness, just a clear glass

Seeing our real image mirrored back
The places that we go to cope, it's so strange
When we're older folks, it don't change

Trying to hang, we don't know the ropes
When we fall, we got more than our shoulders broke
It's no game

It's why we overdose on cocaine
Get our brains comatose, there's no blame
If you've ever know shame, known pain

Known days when it really don't feel OK

We all pretend to keep

Our tongue out of our cheek
Everyone's the fool they seek
We all go off the track

And feel for our way back
Everybody breaks a glass


Somewhere perfection lies
But not for you and I
Everybody trips sometimes

When cities fall like shacks
Walls eventually crack
Everybody breaks a glass
