Sleeping on Broken Glass

Breathing in, nails bite within

Falling down, not much time left now

Days are like ghosts at my feet

I feel the loss, all my broken plans

I sleep on broken glass

If I could fly above myself

Like a bird, from its rusty cage

I would steal a smile for you

Take you home, keep you safe in place

A sacrifice

A knife in a weakened heart

A sacrifice

Slowly all the hopes come down

I sleep on broken glass
