Black Glass Lyrics - Singles - Living Legends

Can you see yourself not seeing yourself? 

That's the question 

If I paint the back of a sheet of glass black 

What I have is so complex you can never make your way back 

To vanity instilled in children 

Filling villains with the greatest weapon of all time 

A connection to your outer layers and mind 

Body and soul could never conceive 

Or believe in a world without a mirror image 

It's a mere scrimmage when the mirror has two faces 

And you can't figure out which face is yours 

How would the world function 

If you didn't know which race was yours? 

You could take a face and, like, make it yours 

Make hate dissipate 

If the way to take notice to your physical 

Existed in a lake or a stream 

In a dream or a tear on a cheek 

If there were no mirrors on the walls, all along the halls 

And hallways and pathways and shortcuts and back ways 

And alleyways and corners or lobbies and concession stands 

And along the ceilings in grocery stores 

And at newsstands and restaurants and bathrooms 

And back rooms and living rooms and churches 

Where work is, where birth is 

In hospitals and hotels and banks 

A lot less would be seen, you would have gotten away 

She would've been a victim 

I would have been charged and locked behind bars 

Wishing there were mirrors on walls 

All along the halls 

And hallways and pathways and shortcuts and back ways 

And alleyways and corners and lobbies and concession stands 

And along the ceilings in grocery stores 

You can't stop it all 

Some things must fall 

You made it that way 

'Til it all blows away 

You can't stop it all 

Some things must fall 

You made it that way 

'Til it all blows away 

Can you see yourself not seeing yourself 

Unless you're looking into the sea or you're seeing someone else 

Who talks in the same tone or walks with a similar step 

When you're picking up the paper and the morning dew is wet 

Or playing in a game and some fool is dripping sweat 

Or you're bending over a glass table putting down your bet 

On a world with an obsession over attributes so set 

On a physical vehicle decorated, displayed from the get-go 

Get low esteem, add it with DNA and traits 

Then you can say the hate for self exposes in reflections 

Get low esteem, add it with DNA and traits 

Then you can say the hate for self expresses in reflections 

No clear views or rear views 

Freeways would be overcrowded with fender-benders 

And middle fingers would be thrown up in faces 

As common as compact mirrors can be found in purses 

Life would be the worstest, or would it be a remedy? 

No more seven years bad luck for breaking the reflective glass 

More productivity women wouldn't be running back and forth in bathrooms 

To refreshen that ass 

Less time and money would be wasted on 

Pathetic cosmetic merchandise made to entice 

And glamor girls would have a shit fit 

And Michael Jackson would still be black, ya know? 

You made it that way 

'Til it all blows away 

I will not stare if you will not talk 

I will not stare if you will not talk 

I will not stare if you will not talk 

I will not stare if you will not talk 

You can't stop it all 

Some things must fall 

You made it that way 

'Til it all blows away 

You can't stop it all 

Some things must fall 

You made it that way 

'Til it all blows away 

I will not stare if you will not talk 

I will not stare if you will not talk 

I will not stare if you will not talk 

I will not stare if you will not talk 

{Let's take a drink 

Nobody's watching 

Yeah 

A small one won't hurt us 

Whoops}
