Gold & Glass

Stuck in the middle/Sandpit full of tears/Violet pours between us/Heaven can be spared/Thorns of gold and glass/(My heart is beating too fast)

Million motions you speak to me/Dream a million come true/Shadows that pass the surface/My heart doesn't want to belong to you

Sometimes it scares me/Your love so pure and real/What more is there to life/That my time wants to explore?/Timeless time is priceless/How much do we have?

A power that surges of stained sheets/The scars that hold time hostage/It's all in your head/It's all in your head

Darkness brings life/The light exposes the poison/That drips from your fingers/Scalding the ridges of your back/You can't sleep no more

It's all in your head
It's all in your head

What do we deserve?
