The Right Side of Glass

[Intro] [Verse 1] Woke up with the same haze on the pane again Tracing old fractures with a hand that won't mend The world on the other side moves in full color and sound While I wait in the silence where the edges all drown Every morning feels borrowed from a life out of reach Like the sky forgot the language it was trying to teach [Chorus] Take me through the glass, to the right side of life I'm ready for the sharp edges, the unfiltered light Been paying the toll just to stand where I stand Now the barrier's thinning beneath my own hand Pull me where the green isn't just a dream in my head Where the wind has a voice and the colors don't fade I've been gray for so long, praying down on my knees Let the cracks finally open Let the real world breathe through me [Verse 2] Every reflection I catch shows a version half-lived A silhouette waiting for permission to begin Every heartbeat echoes somewhere I can't quite arrive Like I'm watching someone else learn what it means to be alive But the fight isn't lonely when the whole world's the same We're all pressing our palms to the glass, calling our names [Bridge] If you're hearing this, hold on a little longer Breaking isn't always the opposite of stronger Don't lose yourself counting the shards on the ground Sometimes hope is the smallest surviving sound The future stays blurred till we walk through the fear Till our own voices become the thing we finally hear Saying, "This is where I belong." Not the picture behind glass, But the earth beneath my feet all along. [Chorus] Take me through the glass, to the right side of life I'm ready for the sharp edges, the unfiltered light Been paying the toll just to stand where I stand Now the barrier's thinning beneath my own hand Pull me where the green isn't just a dream in my head Where the wind has a voice and the colors don't fade I've been gray for so long, praying down on my knees Let the cracks finally open Let the real world breathe through me [Outro] Through the glass... I can almost feel the air now... Through the glass... I'm not reaching anymore... I'm stepping through.
