Kept Behind Glass

She smiles and the darkness recoils
And for once, there is a light in my gloom
But I'm not hiding or holding out, not keeping my head down
Quite the opposite in fact, I'm following it out, its guiding

And her hearts caged like a beast,
A prisoner of its own uncertainty
I feel like I'm the one who belongs in chains
Weight of the world pushing down on my chest
With thoughts of her in my brain
A predator in love, a concept so strange

And I can't,
Can't keep my hands to myself,
Can't keep my hands to myself

Try and respect her space, try to look and not taste
But the air around her becomes too much to take
So I swallow the bad thoughts down, chase my demons out
And try to put on a not so deadly looking face

And her hearts caged like a beast,
A prisoner of its own uncertainty
I feel like I'm the one who belongs in chains
Weight of the world pushing down on my chest
With thoughts of her in my brain
A predator in love, a concept so strange

And I can't,
Can't keep my hands to myself,
Can't keep my hands to myself
Can't keep, no can't keep, can't keep my

I can't keep my distance, every moment away
Becomes another moment wasted of another wasted day
All that I see, needing her more than I need to breathe
Could this just get any worse

Can't keep, can't keep, can't keep my
Can't keep, can't keep, can't keep my
Can't keep, can't keep, can't keep my
Hands, hands to myself, hands to myself
Hands to, myself, no
