It´s not a solid, not a soft thing
To pull the wool up like a smoke screen
Nobody does it like a prophet
It´s gone before you know you lost it
There are reasons you keep your hands tied
There´s certain things you shouldn´t have tried
So if you gotta tell me something
You better go from the beginning

We all forget to sleep
And crash at someone´s feet
Everybody skips a beat
We let the chances pass
The few we held so fast
Everybody breaks a glass

And here I´m standing in the middle
Not just a little but a hill-full
Wondering how I got a head cold
Wishing I didn´t know what I know
It´s never been about the money
We´re worthy or we are not worthy
However much you´ve got on your plate
You´re as good as you reciprocate

We all pretend to keep
Our tongue out of our cheek
Everyone´s the fool they seek
We all go off the track
And feel for our way back
Everybody breaks a glass
Everybody breaks a glass

(Yeah, Shook)
Scared to look at peers when they peer back
It´s weird how we fear that
It´s weird how we wear masks
It appears that we fear our own tears more than tear gas
My team´s struggling in years past
Looking to draft beer to bring cheers back
But then the drinking game´s finished
No Guinness, just a clear glass
Seeing our real image mirrored back
The places that we go to cope, it´s so strange
When we´re older folks, it don´t change
Trying to hang, we don´t know the ropes
When we fall, we got more than our shoulders broke
It´s no game
It´s why we overdose on cocaine
Get our brains comatose, there´s no blame
If you´ve ever know shame, known pain
Known days when it really don´t feel OK
(Uh, okay)

Somewhere perfection lies
But not for you and I
Everybody trips sometimes
When cities fall like shacks
Walls eventually crack
Everybody breaks a glass
