lyrics

Alison’s House of Glass

Alison lives in a world full of rays of light,
No matter what could happen, she says it's all right,
Too many expectations led her to zone out,
No trick no fair solution in the land of lies.

Oh, Alison won't you take me through your eyes?
You say: there's no reason why...

Alison hates to listen; she smiles all the time,
She lives in isolation, in a house of glass,
Waits for Prince charming to come, riding through the night,
Proudly sat on his white horse, defending her life.

Oh, Alison won't you open up your eyes?
You say: there's no reason why...

Oh can't you see that it's all in your mind?
And the rest of your life is unsure,
Oh can't you see that all I need,
Is your hand in mine to reach the shore.

Alison why did you burn the faces from the past?
Tell me what’s your intention when you prowl at night,
You dance till you're bathed in sweat, until the sunrise,
You're looking for attention from a crowd of one.

Oh, Alison why do you always hush your cries?
I say: there's no reason why...

Tic! toc! Time is running fast on the clock of life,
Don't waste your heart Alison and try to love at last,
Forget all your predictions and you'll find the right time,
Don't let your past, little girl, make you pay the price.

Oh, Alison why do my words make you cry?
I say: there's no reason why...

Chorus

Don't turn the wheel of life if you're a liar... there's no turning back.

Chorus
