about

this song was written on Jeff Cassel's red schecter guitar after he carelessly left at my house one time in 2013. The lyrics are about being proud yet fragile; the glass elephant.

lyrics

you lie to get what you want from the people you know
you can try but it won't work
you can try but it won't work
you would like to remain the victim of some tragedy you cause
it's your own fault
don't forget that when you talk

well it's hard not to break when you're fragile
not to break character and act casual
(try not to be lonely, try not to be lonely)
well it's all in your mind when you think it's real
free yourself from yourself when you laugh it off

I still hold the gun
I think it's smoking for you...

I don't know why you've been trying to get under my skin
you can try but it won't work
you can try but it won't work
I've grown impervious to your rouse and your childishness
so be fruitful, you bastard, and mulitply
