WHAT ABOUT THE PIECES

See the fine cut crystal vase

Holding the flowers so prettily

Admiration stares in awe

While envy turns a bitter green

Love tenders the vessel full

Affection keeps the flora fresh

Hate smashes the crystal vase

And remorse deals with the mess

~~~*Chorus*~~~

But what about the pieces…

Scattered everywhere 

Irrational cannot find them all

So the vase can never be repaired 

And the shards are lethal…

Anticipate attack

Betrayal it is real

And virtue cannot heal

Thee afflicted is fighting back

The bedlam never ceases…

What about the pieces

~~*~~

See the sun on broken glass

Bleeding through begets an altering

Admiration drinks it in

While envy scoffs at the debris

Love affords a mirrored throne

Affection harnesses the light

Hate recalls the crystal vase

And remorse recoils to cry

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

What about the pieces

Too concealed to find

When perfection can not be obtained

Love of self will always be declined

Now the shards are lethal…

The heart isn't whole

What is left behind

Fragments biding time

And revenge is their only only goal

~~*~~

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

Watch out for the pieces…

Scattered everywhere

Irrational cannot find them all

So the vase can never be repaired 

And the shards are lethal…

Anticipate attack

Betrayal it is real

And virtue cannot heal

Thee afflicted is fighting back

The bedlam never ceases…

What about the pieces

~~*~~

Beware of the pieces
