[Verse 1]
I watch you moving through the smoky gray
A beautiful phantom just a breath away
Locked in a fortress made of frozen light
We’re two dark stars colliding in the night
You’ve got that shadow lurking in your eyes
The kind of secret that you can’t disguise
Caught in the reflection of a lonely space
Just out of reach, but I can trace your face
[Pre-Chorus]
One touch could ruin everything we know
A single spark and the whole house blows
But I’m drawn to the danger, pulling me deep
A pretty secret that I want to keep
(to keep, to keep, to keep, to keep)
[Chorus]
Shatter the glass, let the pieces fall!
I want to tear down this invisible wall
Pressing my hands up against the cold
To reach for the one that I’m dying to hold
We’re trapped in a prism of shadow and light
But I’m dying to cross the borderline tonight
Yeah, look at the mess that we’re gonna make
When the glass begins to break
(To break, to break)
Through the pane
When the glass begins to break!
[Verse 2]
You take a step closer, matching my stride
There’s nowhere left for the secrets to hide
You press your own palm right over my print
A dangerous spark in a dangerous flint
I see the hunger, the ghost of a smile
We’ve both been trapped in this game for a while
You’re not afraid of the blood or the scars
You want to shatter this prison of ours
[Pre-Chorus]
One touch could ruin everything we know
A single spark and the whole house blows
But I’m drawn to the danger, pulling me deep
A pretty secret that I want to keep
(to keep, to keep, to keep, to keep)
[Chorus]
Shatter the glass, let the pieces fall!
I want to tear down this invisible wall
Pressing my hands up against the cold
To reach for the one that I’m dying to hold
We’re trapped in a prism of shadow and light
But I’m dying to cross the borderline tonight
Yeah, look at the mess that we’re gonna make
When the glass begins to break
(To break, to break)
Through the pane
When the glass begins to break!
[Guitar Solo]
[The music completely unleashes. A blistering, melodic, and tragic guitar solo that mirrors the desperation of the lyrics, soaring higher and higher until it hits a piercing, sustained note that perfectly mimics the sound of glass under tension]
[Final Chorus]
Shatter the glass, let the pieces fall!
I want to tear down this invisible wall
Pressing my hands up against the cold
To reach for the one that I’m dying to hold
We’re trapped in a prism of shadow and light
But I’m dying to cross the borderline tonight
Yeah, look at the mess that we’re gonna make
When the glass begins to break
(To break, to break)
Through the pane
When the glass begins to break!
[Abrupt, heavy instrumental crash as the glass shatters]
