Built On Glass

Where am I to call home, My foundation is built on glass
My knees are shaking, My nerve is gone, I fall to my death
Who am I to call family, My blood is thinner than air
My hands are shaking, My nerve is gone, I reach my end

My father has forsaken me, My mother has abandoned me
My kin has become a mystery, I search for a place to call my own
But no one cares to save me, To take me in, To hold me up
As my world caves in and everything I stood for comes falling down

I once cared, I once loved, I once gave so much I ran out
I fled from home to find my early grave and sunk in willingly
As the dirt flew upon me, I saw an angel shed a tear for me
I closed my eyes, No good within me, Leave me to my demise

I swore I was a perfect son, The perfect example of humanity
I bowed to my ancestors, I gave homage to those before me
I submitted to the sun, I succumbed to the ever searching sea
An anchor with no ship, A door with no handle, Seek me

My hourglass is fleeing, As my devil consumes the oceans
The sand caves in, Choking my angel as she screams for me
I could never save her, I could never save myself or anyone
I am but a hopeless fool in search of a home I never deserved
