Verse One
You come on like glass
When you’re really made of granite
You’re holding back your soul
You’re giving up control
You come on like glass
And it’s really pretty tragic
Because you’re not staking out your claim
Your world is your domain
Your syntax
Is a sin tax
Circumlocuting ‘round the world
Your word game
Is absurd game
Qualifying every word

Verse Two
You come on like glass
When you’re a Faraday container
And you can use your powers for good or ill
No one knows until
You spring your last trap
It’s a strategy forever
Pretending what you think you want you have
That unremarkable ain't bad
Enough of the excuses
There’s no use in
Taking sides
I will be
Where you want me
If you want to take that ride

Bridge
You came from windy beaches
On the cusp of sea and land
You went into the fire
Inspired
I see you’re full of something
Your lid flipped to get it out
You shattered
When it mattered
Cut me out

Verse Three
Your syntax
Is a sin tax
Circumlocuting ‘round the world
Your word game
Is absurd game
Qualifying every word
Enough of the excuses
There’s no use in
Taking sides
I will be
Where you want me
If you want to take that ride

syntax/sin tax hah. The rhymes are fun. Nice reference to faraday too. Digging the solo. Musically i like it but i don’t love it.
