Cracks In The Glass

Lyrics: Frederic De Carvalho/Chris Kalera Music: Frederic De Carvalho She wakes before the sun Her race has just begun Each step is perfect grace No flaws she must embrace She moves in measured time Each word a polished rhyme
She thinks she's always right But darkness hides the light Her world's a careful plan She does the best she can She catches every fall Yet misses the silent call
But something's left askew Some truths she never knew She paints the lines so straight But can't control her fate Her heart is strong and pure She's built herself secure
And whatever you say, And whatever you think, it's true And whatever you ask, And whatever you catch, it's right
But the cracks in the glass And the truth that you pass still shows You can cover your eyes But the mask that you wear still glows
They see the cracks beneath The lies she hides in teeth A smile that plays the game But never shows the shame She knows just what to say To make them look away
Their doubts are swept aside In her, they still confide She builds her perfect throne While others feel alone Yet something feels untrue The doubt begins to brew
They question in their minds But can't ignore the signs Her charm's a fragile thread That binds the words she’s said They whisper when she leaves Of how she might deceive
And whatever you say, And whatever you think, it's true And whatever you ask, And whatever you catch, it's right
But the cracks in the glass And the truth that you pass still shows You can cover your eyes But the mask that you wear still glows
