We take the sand out of our clocks
Heat it with the fire that burns inside us
And we forge the glass to encase ourselves
That chokes the flames that helped it to be
Now place a blade against your shell
And etch some pretty pictures that show and tell
The person that you think you are
Draw anything to keep them from seeing through
But as you stare at your glass skin
The ornate carvings on it do not hide your reflection
We all know just who we are
We’re just afraid to face it, afraid of changing
We can see everything inside ourselves
Let this skin be a cocoon
To shed and help us grow into what we are
We’ll find these bones just need some time
In a fire of honesty they will refine
And now you stare at your bare bones
All you need to know is this frame is yours to mold
We all know just who we are
We’re just afraid to face it, afraid of changing
We can see everything inside ourselves
It’s time to break the projections that we created
We have to break them
It’s time to live without this casing
No more false faces
