Throwing Bricks In Glass Houses (Break Out)

Throwing Bricks In Glass Houses (Break Out)

A Poem by Travis Prino

We only give what we get back

unless you're stupid old me

I'll give you everything you ask

but I don't get anything I need

cause once again I played the fool

in this game of love and life

what a surprise, this time I lose

but you'll come crashing to your own demise


take this brick and smash it through the window

that's enclosing me tonight

break free of all the pain and sorrow

that's been holding me so tight

take the glass and carve into this body

that's caged me in this skin

break free of all the pain inside me

that's brought me back to bleeding again


I always give and never receive

an endless trend you started yourself

but I won't let your cries deceive

I've got something for your bookshelf

take this, read it, and let it consume

cause it's the closest you'll get to me

once, twice, three times I've been used

remember me when you're down on your knees


take this brick and smash it through the window

that's enclosing me tonight

break free of all the pain and sorrow

that's been holding me so tight

take the glass and carve into this body

that's caged me in this skin

break free of all the pain inside me

that's brought me back to bleeding again


I've bled for you

I've bled for me too

I'm dead to you

now I'm dead to me too

I've bled for you

I've bled for me too

I'm dead to you

now I'm dead to me too


take this brick and smash it through the window

that's enclosing me tonight

break free of all the pain and sorrow

that's been holding me so tight

take the glass and carve into this body

that's caged me in this skin

break free of all the pain inside me

that's brought me back to bleeding again


I'll break out as you break down

I'm dying while you're crying

just know that you're the last thing on my mind

before I die.

Just a little caveat to my writing, 95% of what I write are lyrics so excuse the length and repetition and don't be deterred by that. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment. more..
