Glass House
Amberyse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It comes in waves

Lost all will to escape
Rusted inception collapsed in the wake
I can not sleep
To the sound of your heartbeat
Clotting the arteries of what you love in me
So long I've waited to feel you fading away
Don't you stand there and tell me you think I've changed

This is to late to turn around
Now that I'm falling towards the ground

So sleep away
Lost all grip to be myself again
Reaching out for your help
But i just can't hear you my heart has
Lead me so far
So far away I can not heal
As to be alone is to be without

You

(To be without you)

You are the one who live in question
Take a second to take a look at your own reflection

Take a step back

Breath with me see what I see
Just another life worth living down on your knees

So sleep away
Lost all grip to be myself again
Reaching out for your help
But i just can't hear you my heart has
Lead me so far
So far away I can not heal
As to be alone is to be without

Time slips away from you
I just can't hold on I left it all to you

Time slips away from you
You tried to hold on while I pushed through the gloom

Time slips away from you
Grasping for air as I run from you

Time slips away from you
You tried to hold on but lost grip of the truth

So sleep away
Lost all grip to be myself again
Reaching out for your help
But I just can't hear you my heart has
Lead me so far
So far away I can not heal
As to be alone is to be without

Its slowly coming back, an ocean swallows you
You've learnt to live with it but that's not like you
Each step you draw to your grave
You know that you can't be saved

Its slowly coming back, an ocean swallows you
You've learnt to live with it but that's not like you
To be the one to dig there own grave





You know you can't be saved
