When glass turns to stone The shine turns to coal When fast becomes slow When glass turns to stone The shine turns to coal When fast becomes slow Glass boy
I was the source Now I'm the decay Just fading away Glass boy
If you touch me, I'll shatter Like a statue, I'm fragile Just a whisper You could hear me if I mattered
I was wild like a wave Now I'm fixed into place On the sand ans I'm scared of the tide
Where did I used to go before I went nowhere? What did I used to do before I did nothing? What did I used to have before I had nothing? Who did i used to be before I was no one?
Pretend the kids are strange But it was me who has changed I wish I could go back Glass boy
I'm afraid to grow up And fuck my life up So I sit and just turn to Glass boy
I wore out my grooves, I'm just a faded tune Not an echo boom, but just a whimper I spun for too long and now my sound is gone You couldn't play me if you wanted
Where did I used to go before I went nowhere? What did I used to do before I did nothing? What did I used to have before I had nothing? Who did i used to be before I was no one?
The sand fills the glass With all the hours in the past In the air now, for someone to get back A million little stones Put to fire, put to sound Make the man you see and the one you will become
There's a tunnel at the end Of the light where you will find me There's a darkness at the end Of the night that conceals me I'm a glass boy, I'm a glass boy I'm so scared boy, but I'm ready So replace me, just erase me Let me sit here And shine
Where did I used to go before I went nowhere? What did I used to do before I did nothing? What did I used to have before I had nothing? Who did i used to be before I was no one?
