The Glass Delusion

Music: Viktor Jonas | lyrics: Andy Walmsley

Heavy is the head that wears the martyr’s crown
Unwanted and uneasy, upon this weary brow
Laden with the weight of expectations, a thankless burden that I did not choose to bear
That steals away my reason, and robs me of my peace, and it will not let me be
A moment of madness is all that it takes, a momentary weakness, as I begin to… break

I feel like I am made of glass, always a moment from collapse
And all the strength that I once had has left me, and all my hope is gone

All my strength has left me, and all my hope is gone

But still the cracks keep growing, deeper and deeper
As I feel my body growing weaker and weaker with every breath
The fractures slowly spreading, through my fragile bones
This never-ending agony

One wrong move and I will shatter
Into a thousand broken shards
That cannot be put back together
One false step and I will fall apart

I feel like I am made of glass, always a moment from collapse
And all the strength that I once had has left me, and all my hope is gone

All my strength has left me, and all my hope is gone
