Song Lyrics

Walking down on the beach the sand is so fine
And the breeze through the trees is clearing my mind
All the lovers and the freaks of nature's kind

The parents with their tribes and their families
The dudes with the girls down on their knees
Sharing sun in this altered reality

The glass river is bleeding in my eyes
It's really no surprise, reflections in disguise

The glass river is all you'll ever know
You reap not what you sew and yet you're starring in the show

I see myself in the glass river
I see through you in the glass river
My heart is true in the glass river

Remember the day that you sold your soul
You gave it away for some damage control
They stole your will you were left exposed

You're beat up and you're tired you can't even explain
The message was sent along with the blame
You were so alive now you live in a cage

The glass river is bleeding in our eyes
It's really no surprise, reflections in disguise

The glass river is all you'll ever know
You reap not what you sew but yet you're starring in the show

I see myself in the glass river
I see through you in the glass river
I hear the truth in the glass river

Alan and Jane had a good run till the end
Couple of the year, but not the best of friends
They'd dance the night away
Wake up without much to say

The walls were building and tunnels all around
Then one day it came, their great suburban showdown
They met as lovers but left the dance as strangers, Alan and Jane
Alan and Jane met again some years ago
Locking eyes in silence as the story goes
A moment more pure then they had ever shared
They finally realized how much each other really cared, Alan and Jane

Did I share with you all that I could?
Did I give you everything that I should?
If I were able to you know that I would

The fire and the rage still burning inside
What do we show and what do we hide?
Trying to live more than merely survive

The glass river is bleeding in my eyes
It's really no surprise, reflections in disguise

The glass river is all you'll ever know
You reap not what you sew and yet you're starring in the show

I see myself in the glass river
I see through you in the glass river
My heart is true in the glass river

I may die in the glass river
I hear your cries in the glass river
We are free in the glass river
There's clarity in the glass river
Destiny in the glass river
