Broken Glass

I wish you knew what your words could do.
I wish you knew what your words could do.
I am made of glass, and you’re a sledgehammer.
I am made of glass, and you’re a sledgehammer.
Cracks are spreading, time is running out.
Cracks are spreading, time is running out.
I am made of glass, and you’re a sledgehammer.
I am made of glass, and you’re a sledgehammer.

Oh, this heart: shattered now, there are only shards.
Scatter them, spread the love in each fragment.

I wish you knew what your words could do.
I wish you knew what your words could do.
I am made of glass, and you’re a sledgehammer.
I am made of glass, and you’re a sledgehammer.
Cracks are spreading, time is running out.
Cracks are spreading, time is running out.
I am made of glass, and you’re a sledgehammer.
I am made of glass, and you’re a sledgehammer.

My love will cover this earth
as shards of glass.
And I hope your pain will heal,
and may you understand mine.

May your heart soften.
May your sledgehammer dissolve
and may love dissuade you
from the seduction of hatred.

In the end, we’ll all be ground to dust,
and your hammer will fall for the last time.
I hope that, by then, it will no longer be a hammer,
but a warm hand outstretched and ready to give nothing but love.

In the end, we’ll all be ground to dust.

Evan Zegiel has been writing poetry and lyrics for years. He is primarily an orchestral tuba player, but has been playing bass and electric guitar for about the same amount of time. Merging those skills resulted in the birth of House of Hummingbirds.
