Glass - The Crystalline Effect

When you look up at the sky

I know it makes you want to fly

It’s not that easy don’t you try

'Cause there’s a glass ceiling lie

There’s a glass ceiling lie

And don’t look around you 'cause you might find

They’re following you close behind

They watch and listen, look and learn

And if you falter you will burn

You think you’re running far away

They’re getting closer every day

I see you walk the fine line

You show the sign

She’s got imagination working overtime

When she gets closer to the shore they move the line

Sometimes all she wants, leave it all behind

But she gets closer, closer to fine

It’s so disturbing when you can’t see the rules

'Cause they change in front of you

Everyone else is rushing by,

You’re still standing still

When all around you fades to grey

You watch them turn and slip away

You try to follow, you slip and fall

You’re up against the glass wall

She says she’s hurting all the time

She’s covered in bruises, her body and her mind

She says she’s hurting all the time

But if she stops, she crashes
