Lyrics to 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

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



And I turn my back to the world, well I don't care

What can I say if I see you all as dead

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



Shatters within

Shatters within

Shatters within

Shatters within
