Castle of Glass
Linkin Park Lyrics

Take me down to the river bend
Lead me to a place of peace and tranquility.

Take me down to the fighting end
Bring me to a place where I can confront my inner demons.

Wash the poison from off my skin
Cleanse me from the toxins that have infiltrated my body and soul.

Show me how to be whole again
Guide me towards healing and restoration.

Fly me up on a silver wing
Elevate me to a higher state of being.

Past the black where the sirens sing
Beyond the darkness and temptation that lures me from my path.

Warm me up in a nova's glow
Bask me in the radiant light and energy of a star's explosion.

And drop me down to the dream below
Transport me into a world of pure imagination and possibility.

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
I am vulnerable and fragile, like a tiny crack in a larger structure.

Hardly anything there for you to see
There is little substance or worth to discover beneath the surface.

Bring me home in a blinding dream
Envelop me in a blissful and awe-inspiring hallucination.

Through the secrets that I have seen
Guided by the mysterious and mystical experiences that have shaped me.

Wash the sorrow from off my skin
Eliminate the grief and pain that weighs me down.

Show me how to be whole again
Teach me how to be complete and fulfilled once more.

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
I am fragile and easily shattered, like a weak point in a larger structure.

Hardly anything else I need to be
I am content with being a small, insignificant part of the bigger picture.

For you to see
There is no great depth or complexity to discover - I am what I am.

For you to see
There is no great depth or complexity to discover - I am what I am.
