Like Flies Against The Glass

[Intro] [Clean guitar harmonics drift through a wall of distant ambience. A low bass pulse fades in beneath shimmering reverb.] [Verse 1] Breathing through a silver morning Every surface cold and clear Something calling from the other side Close enough to almost hear Fingertips across the silence Tracing cracks that never show Every heartbeat says don't touch it Every instinct says to go [Pre-Chorus] The closer we get The harder we fall [Chorus] Like flies against the glass Throwing shadows into daylight Mistaking impact for escape Again and again Like flies against the glass Watching heaven through a window Close enough to fill our eyes Never close enough to change [Verse 2] Every promise leaves a fingerprint Every lie reflects our face Every scar becomes a compass Pointing back to the same place We can see the world beyond us Beautiful and terrifying Still we beat these borrowed wings Against what never bends [Pre-Chorus] The closer we get The louder it calls [Chorus] Like flies against the glass Throwing shadows into daylight Mistaking impact for escape Again and again Like flies against the glass Watching heaven through a window Close enough to fill our eyes Never close enough to change [Bridge] Maybe the barrier Was never built to keep us out Maybe it was always there To show us where we end And where desire begins Still... We chase the reflection Instead of the light [Final Chorus] Like flies against the glass Every collision sounds familiar Every fracture wears our name Like flies against the glass Old enough to know the difference Young enough to chase the fire Like flies against the glass The window never shatters Only our reflection does [Outro] The glass stays still... We are the ones Who never stop flying.
