Living Sacrifice

Wednesday, September 22, 2004

Well, I was just sitting here trying to study and decided to listen to some music. Don't know why, but I felt like listening to "Piece of Glass" by Caedmon's Call. Sure enough, a few times through and the tears were streaming. Still are. Kind of crazy how certain songs can touch us in a certain way. This one's deep.

Can’t believe that I did it again
Wake me up from this nightmare
‘Cause this monster is filling me up, filling me out.

Everyday I live a bit less; one night leads to another.
Even if I went back they would recognize me or criticize me.

Who are you that lies when you stare at my face
Telling me that I’m just a trace of the person I once was?
Cause I just can't tell if you're telling the truth or a lie,
On you I just can't rely,

After all you're just a piece of glass.

Still this nightmare's all mine, when I call him, he answers.
I can tell him when to come, when to stay.

Sometimes I'm weaker than he is, is he just letting me win?
He can tell me when to come, when to stay.

Who are you that lies when you stare at my face
Telling me that I’m just a trace of the person I once was?
Cause I just can't tell if you're telling the truth or a lie,
On you I just can't rely,

After all you're just a piece of glass.

Don’t talk, listen.
Hold me tighter.
Stay with me just for a while,
Until the sun shines stay with me,
Just give me one more day.

Who are you that cries when you stare at my face
Telling me that I’m just a trace of the person I once was?
Cause we're not the same, you're just a picture of me,
You’re gone as soon as I leave; you've lived my life for me,
And you're no more than a piece of glass.
You're no more than just a piece of glass.
