Living Legends - Black Glass Lyrics
[Eligh]Can you see yourself not seeing yourself?That's the questionIf I paint the back of a sheet of glass blackWhat I have is so complexYou can never make your way backTo vanity instilled in childrenFilling villains with the greatest weapon of all timeA connection to your outer layers and mind, body and soulCould never conceiveOr believe in a world without a mirror imageIt's a mere scrimmage when the mirror has two facesAnd you can't figure out which face is yoursHow would the world functionIf you didn't know which race was yours?You could take a face and, like, make it yoursMake hate dissipateIf the way to take notice to your physicalExisted in a lake or a streamIn a dream or a tear on a cheek (cheek, cheek)[Scarub]If there were no mirrors on the wallsAll along the hallsAnd hallways and pathways and shortcuts and back waysAnd alleyways and corners or lobbies and concession standsAnd along the ceilings in grocery storesAnd at newsstands and restaurants and bathroomsAnd backrooms and living rooms and churchesWhere work is, where birth isIn hospitals and hotels and banksA lot less would be seenYou would have gotten awayShe would've been a victimI would have been chargedAnd locked behind barsWishing there were mirrors on wallsAll along the hallsAnd hallways and pathways and shortcuts and back waysAnd alleyways and corners and lobbies and concession standsAnd along the ceilings in grocery stores[Sunspot Jonz] [CHORUS] X 2You can't stop it allSome things must fallYou made it that way'Til it all blows away[Eligh]Can you see yourself not seeing yourselfUnless you're looking into the seaOr you're seeing someone elseWho talks in the same toneOr walks with a similar stepWhen you're picking up the paperAnd the morning dew is wetOr playing in a game and some fool is dripping sweatOr you're bending over a glass tablePutting down your betOn a world with an obsession over attributes so setOn a physical vehicle decorated, displayed from the get-goGet low esteem, add it with DNA and traitsThen you can say the hate for self exposes in reflectionsGet low esteem, add it with DNA and traitsThen you can say the hate for self expresses in reflections[Scarub]No clear views or rear viewsFreeways would be overcrowded with fender-bendersAnd middle fingers would be thrown up in facesAs common as compact mirrors can be found in pursesLife would be the worstest, or would it be a remedy?No more seven years bad luck for breaking the reflective glassMore productivityWomen wouldn't be running back and forth in bathrooms to refreshen that assLess time and money would be wasted onPathetic cosmetic merchandise made to enticeAnd glamour girls would have ???And Michael Jackson would still be black, ya know?You made it that way'Til it all blows awayI will not stare if you will not talkI will not stare if you will not talkI will not stare if you will not talkI will not stare if you will not talk[CHORUS] X 2I will not stare if you will not talkI will not stare if you will not talkI will not stare if you will not talkI will not stare if you will not talk"Let's take a drinkNobody's watching""Yeah""A small one won't hurt usWhoops!"
