I'm half asleep, sorry if this makes no sense...just a little something running through my head that I wanted to get down before I lost it completely ;)
I see you watching through the glass Words drifting to me on a breeze Beckoning, calling for me to ask Get on my knees to beg and please I cannot feel your barest of touch My skin's gone numb I'm afraid But I fear I ask too much I've forgotten how the game is played I can watch and I can listen I can give in and obey But you won't see the tears that glisten In my eyes when you walk away So look at me through the glass Play your games then leave me be Sadly the one thing I long to ask Is the one thing I will never receive
