Song Description

Wondering what went wrong...

Lyrics

There is a sliver of glass
Hidden in this pillow of dreams
I don't know what it means...
A shattered piece of something,
It's keeping me awake...
Don't know what it means
But I'm wide awake...*

*What did I break?
What hope was dashed
Against the brick wall
Of my pointless resolve?
What did I, what did I, what did I break?

There is a sliver of glass
Lodged underneath my tongue
I can barely speak
The words are painful to say
Can't find the right way
And what do they even mean?
I can't say...*

There is a sliver of glass
Piercing something inside
Of you, of me
And it's razor-sharp
With deeply cut, deeply felt meaning...
I don't know what it is
Why do I feel this way??*

Coda: A million pieces of time
Scattered on this floor,
Not sure what's yours or mine,
Just please don't walk out that door,
Let me sweep up these pieces into some kind of pile
Some kind of way...I just want to know...*

(A million pieces shattered, scattered, feel the joy, the pain, can you let it go, can you let it go? A little, a little wisdom from the past - I have a dream, the dust of stars, a billion tears and love will glue the molecules. A million pieces scattered, shattered, disappear without a sound; a peace that passes understanding, a song yet sung, a wave of relief. Listen, listen, listen to the beat, beat, beat of your heart; wake-up, wake-up to your life, carpe diem, this one and precious life no prison cell can hold the hope that rises far above...She feels, she feels she feels her body lift, she feels the gift. A million pieces, time and tears, a billion years...I have a dream, not a slave the weight of hearts and hands and joy and hope and peace and love that glues the molecules. The dust of stars, a midnight dance, and the words that he said - his eyes look into hers and something is different; the mind holds on but peace will let it go. A million pieces...she feels, she feels, she feels the ease of letting go. Can you let it go?)
