Glass Mountain Trust

(album: Record Collection - 2010)

I look up at this mountain in marble
It stands so tall
So tragically it's fragile
I'm waiting for it to fall
Enormous mass it's made of glass
Instead of with a substance
That's stronger
U thought that it would hold me
I can't take it any longer

I'm gonna break out
I'm gonna break out
I'm gonna take
All of my love back
On the way out
[REPEAT]

I'm free now
I'm gonna take
All of my love back
On the way out

The fortress of our trust
A mirage of a might mound
I let U build around me
Above me
It seemed profound
But much to my surprise
It receives a little hit
And it crumbles
I'm leaning at the core
No support
All I can do is stumble

I'm gonna break out
I'm gonna break out
I'm gonna take
All of my love back
On the way out
[REPEAT]

I'm free now
I'm gonna take
All of my love back
On the way out

I'm gonna break out
I'm gonna break out
I'm gonna take
All of my love back
On the way out
[REPEAT]

I'm free now
I'm gonna take
All of my love back
On the way out

A streak of light
Exposes all the glass for stone
This mountain
Can no longer pass
The confidence that we share
Has been a facade

I'm breaking out and
Leaving only the shards

Formidable
The structure only looks
I bust right through the glass
One attempt and
That's all it took
I wanted to remain
Feeling safe
But it just can't sustain me
It feels more like a trap
Gotta break out
Won't let it contain me

I'm gonna break out
I'm gonna break out
I'm gonna take
All of my love back
On the way out
[REPEAT]

I'm free now
I'm gonna take
All of my love back
On the way out
