"You say that you are close, is close the closest star?" Twenty One Pilots, Fake You Out
You once had a heart,
A heart made of glass and gold
That heart kept everything you held dear
And it contained your everlasting hope
But people didn't see it,
People didn't see your heart of glass and gold.
You wanted them to see it
So you held it in your small hands
Offering it to the world
But all they did was laugh.
Their laughter, cruel and soulless, took your everlasting hope,
stealing your life away from you.
So you ran after them, heart still in your hands,
to retrieve the hope that had been stolen from you.
Your feet weren't fast enough,
Your legs couldn't catch up.
You felt your legs slip,
your body slowly collapsing on the ground.
And your heart, the one your hands had held so dearly,
Slipped away from you.
You saw it fall,
And you tried to catch it,
But you couldn't save it,
your fingertips just out of reach.
It shattered on the pavement,
Breaking into a million pieces.
Everything you held dear, was gone.
So you wept,
Your sobs painfully exiting your body,
Your cries of pain swept away by the wind.
As the days passed, they slowly became quieter,
Soon fading away, taking your soul with it.
Once in a while people pass by that very spot,
Sometimes they notice the little pieces on the ground,
Glittering in the sun.
Some even wondered what those little pieces once were.
But nobody remembered you,
Nobody remembered the boy with the heart of glass and gold.
