[Lyric] Piece of Glass (RPM (US))

I looked in the mirror
The image wasn't very clear
What should have been plain as day
Seemed so very far away

Picture frozen on the wall
So familiar, no recall
All the parts in this design
Took for granted all this time

You won't know if you don't ask
Who's inside this piece of glass
What should be yours won't come to pass
Will just remain a piece of glass

Precious minutes so fragile
Hourglass, won't you stay full?
Too much to see in one brief glance
Put in context each circumstance

So much knowledge that I lack
Reflection, give me something back
Eyesight has concealed my view
This mirror window I've been looking through
You won't see behind this mask
What lies between a piece of glass
What you can hold, you won't grasp
Lies trapped inside a piece of glass

What should be yours won't come to pass
Will just remain a piece of glass
You won't know if you don't ask
Who's inside this piece of glass

What you can hold, you won't grasp
Lies trapped inside a piece of glass
You won't see behind this mask
What lies between a piece of glass
