Looking through the window can you tell me what you see.
You're sure you're really seeing what is meant to be a Glass
a mirror to reflect what I conspire a vision, image I desire.

Shadow fills the light until the glass house becomes the
night
Dark is gleaming or am I dreaming
Running everywhere
Seeing clearly when I dare
Is it today or is it your way
And the moon must fall
Inspiration waits for your call for you to get a silhouette
