lyrics

As I get older ideals fade away,
Doubts get bolder, my fears learn to stray -
The stars lose meaning, future condenses past -
Yet, I want for nothing, in the age of glass.

The vetted mason sub-sequential dreams
Primes the mover, born to hatch the scheme.
The seeds he's set defect as they learn the dance,
But there is no evil in the age of glass.

A planet cascades through times of seamless glue
A mirthless quasar - the rock, the beast, and you -
From deft perspective, all moves like fields of grass,
‘Cause time’s still solid in the age of glass.

You forgo changes at the haste of your demise -
The quantum switchblade made of the gods’ reprise -
but with which logic sculptures a harsh but ethic heart,
And there are always winners in the age of glass.

The bull moves slowly, the seamstress tames her class -
The fractured touchstone, the blink of backlogged tasks -
The symbiotics go kaleidoscopic -
Ideas turn myopic in the age of glass.

As years get shorter I see a wiser way,
Old men have oceans, as humans have their fields of days.
Our wealth comes chiefly on how we choose to last -
Cause there are no riches in the age of glass

In the age of glass
In the age of glass
In the age of glass
In the age of glass
