Shatters Within
Once I was there
Standing outside
Looking in
Beside my window
Smiling face, shattering
It’s an old man’s pride
That climbs over understanding
It wasn’t your child
That I was hurting
And I turn my back to the world
Well I don’t care
What can I say if I see you all as dead
Under the dying sun it comes
Weaving fear but I have none
I know that mushroom cloud
Won’t come very near
What do you have to believe in
And all the poison you breathe in
The crystal heart shatters within
Once I was there
Standing outside
Moving in
Inside my window
Crying face, shattering
Take all that you have
And leave the rest now for today
It’s the old folks’ sign
That took away your chastity
