Man Under Glass

Rollerskate Skinny


I deny everything good 
I want to be on the side 
the side that keeps you alive 
the side that says you're alright 
the worlds are fantasy worlds 
so choose your fantasy world 
you are a man under glass 
you are ditchwater and gas 
time is roadkill and fast 
you say there's ghosts in the wall 
you're not a part of no race 
you'd change your face if you could 
and blaze a trail of escape 
Godspeed to everything gone 
don't go taking the show away from me 

I see no hope for me 
and I see no hope for anyone 

your mind is racing like cars 
you'd fill a night with the 
stars that fill your eyes with belief 
you are the envy of everyone 
though you're not here anymore 
these things have gotten to me 
I feel so stained and unclean 
I shadow small and unclear 
I thought a lot about you 
oh give me answers and love 
don't go taking the show away from me 

I see no hope for me and I see no hope for anyone 

man under glass man under glass man under glass 
what did you say what did say what did say 
I hate the sun I hate the sun I hate the sun 

don't make me laugh
