When glass turns to stone
The shine turns to coal
When fast becomes slow, glass boy
I was the source
Now I am decay
Truth 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 and 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 kids are strange
But it's 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 just sit here and turn to glass, boy
I wore out my grooves, I'm just a faded tune
Not an echo boom but 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 else to get back
A million little stones
Put to fire, put to sound
Make the man you see and the one you become
There's a tunnel at the of the light where you will find me
There's a darkness ar the end of the night that conceals me
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
Where did the time go
