[Verse 1] I patrol the black glass halls Boots on the rusted floor Your pod hums soft and white Like a moon behind a door Two hundred years of silence And still your face stays warm I read your sealed report Then I forget the war [Pre-Chorus] I saw your lashes sleep Under frost and glass My hand froze at the latch I could not make it pass [Chorus] Behind the glass, I stay Behind the glass, I pray (behind the glass) I want to set you free I want to keep you safe (keep you safe) Behind the glass, I break For you, I break [Verse 2] I mapped the dead suburbs Where the towers lost their names The rain eats every sign And the wind still tastes like flames But in your silver chamber The air is clean and still No ash can reach your skin No grief can bend your will [Pre-Chorus] If I wake you now You will see the end If I leave you here I can call you friend [Chorus] Behind the glass, I stay Behind the glass, I pray (behind the glass) I want to set you free I want to keep you safe (keep you safe) Behind the glass, I break For you, I break [Bridge] I have no pulse to spare No childhood, no last song But when your light turns on I know where I belong One kiss of thaw and dawn And all my steel would fail So I guard your sleeping heart Like a last, unburned tale [Chorus] Behind the glass, I stay Behind the glass, I pray (behind the glass) I want to set you free I want to keep you safe (keep you safe) Behind the glass, I break For you, I break
