Stained-Glass Expectations

[Verse 1]
Colored shards rain down like misguided confetti
How can something so beautiful cause so much dismay?
Blood drops exclaim their existence
Running hand-in-hand with unending pain

[Chorus]
(I can) do this alone
(But why) would I want to?
(My hands) bleed all day long
(My mind) knows I could never reach you

[Verse 2]
I've sacrificed friendships
Dismembered family
Through everything I gained
I threw my world away
What cost is worth your existence?
When everyone you know has gone away

[Chorus]
(I can) do this alone
(But why) would I want to?
(My hands) bleed all day long
(My mind) knows I could never reach you

[Outro]
Here I stand broken-hand anger management
I gave my life away
Throw everything away
This time I die to fight I'll reside under twilight
I gave my life away
Throw everything away
