River of Glass

I'm sure that I'm fine but I heard there's a bath in a river of glass so I'll take it
 I've always known that the smiles that were shown were plastic and hollow lines
 And I'll be damned, your metaphor dollar-fed God got into my head
 Hey now, plastics gather 'round now you're waitin' with your hands out
 For the blood flies to come and carry you home
 Doubt is a crime and I caught me at last running circles in rounded-off places
 Scanning for hope but these windows of gold play tricks on my eyes
 And I'll be damned, your metaphor dollar-fed God got into my head
 Hey now, plastics gather 'round now you're waitin' with your hands out
 For the blood flies to come and carry you home
 Why don't we pull apart, look inside the curtains of origins that imitate life
 And where you are is where I'll be floating arms of azure seize
 Who will you inspire?
 As I watch this world below, and the world I watch grows smaller and smaller
 Fear and love all collide and all at once
 The piper plays green tearing the sleeves pulled up from the sea and thrown through the ceiling
 Stepping stones so carefully untouched
 You'll only leave this world alone
 Strange that you think you can fly
 Strapped to a stone in a blinked needle's eye
 I'll be damned, your all-time-low just lowered again
 Hey now plastics gather round now you're waitin' with your hands out
 Waitin' for the war flies
 Waitin' for the blood flies to come and carry you
