Eyedea & Abilities
The closing track from Eyedea and Abilities second album, E&A (2004).
This track finds Eyedea imagining himself as glass as a metaphor for life.
[Verse 1]
I'm gonna run from the voice of reason 'till it turns to laughter
Against the masquerade like I don't believe in the morning after
The chronicles contain a few hidden chapters
We keep our mirrors dirty, in case vanity backfires
A cold grin curtains hunger pains and eagerness
In one throw you could expose up all my weaknesses
I'm putty in your hands, kept my ways burned in sand
Until you learn to look through a window no one else can
[Interlude Speech]
Oh charity, clarity, honesty excitement
The ruling class, falsely accused, misconstrued
Anger, sorrow, happy
Machinery, decisions, collision
Instant gratification, not thinking logically
Programmed to destruct obviously
[Verse 2]
What don't kill me, will just make me crazier
I'm so filthy, sorry, I had to see me like this
I sold you a lie that showed through my eyes
It told you to cry a stained glass suicide
They slowly chiseled down the walls we all hide behind
It's only time before your secrets become weekend headlines
But I'll be fine, suffocating on my own mask
I just wish I could forget how to read between the cracks
[Interlude Speech 2]
Perceptive, unethical, digested tunnel vision
Methadone, real diamond cut tested
Resurrected perfected by well respected professionals
Head doctor, head hunter, scratchy surface
Lost somewhere, accepted vulnerability
Transparent, open [?]
[Repeat]
You're living in a world made of windows and mirrors
Losing safeguards covered crystallized tears
In and out different images, same fear
One day it's gonna shatter right here
I'm living in a world made of windows and mirrors
Lucid safeguards cover crystallized tears
In and out different images, same fear
One day it's all gonna shatter
And I hope you're right here
[Bridge]
See
Through my
Anxieties and insecurities, rip out my insides
Put 'em on display, encaged, enraged and break the bottle that I've
Become, I run I jump I grow completely shattered fractured, captured, glad
I had the chance to be so helpless, see
Through my 4 corner window pane so plain and simple
Brain is crippled walking through a maze
When did I decide to be an object of reflection, crucified for all my imperfections
I answered every question
Peeling the tint off of my confession
[Verse 3]
Close both your eyes
If we can
Death to pride
Lets begin
I'm glass and
Everything's a dream
And I don't miss a thing
Broken mirrors
Don’t bring bad luck, they
Cherish image
How
Do I look
Any given day
You can't kill me
If you rebuild me
You won't
She won't
He won't
I gotta do it all alone again, goodbye
You fled
No one ever said
There was any peace of mind in my head
I’m dead
Everybody lies and plays in time before they’re born again
Wipe
My
Slate
Clean, I wanna skate upon your pretty reddish skin and holler matrimony, mope she broke. And now we know enough about each other everything is shattered!
