lyrics

the man made of porcelain
about to make his big break
in this world
but the wolves are out
in force fangs glaring
howlin out the moon
is full tonight and once again
he is left dancing
with his shadow
his friends who manifest
from light globes
and twirl throughout
the night on dark roads
where there's no escape
it's much too late for that

this road is long and winding
full of danger and suspense
this road is long and twisted
with the power to bend and break
and he has bent and broken man
yes he is bent and broke
yes he is bent and broken man
yes he is bent and broken

the man buried alive
found himself in a grave situation
clawing clawing at the coffin
banging and hollering
at heavens door
I don't wanna come in
please just let me go home
and his fingers are bloody
and shredded to the bone
but still nobody hears his calls

now he's waking up from scattered nights
with tattered dreams and battlescars
knowing that he pushed his mind
and his body much too far
another two steps closer
on the escalator to the abattoir
he broke the magic mirror
now he smashed it into shards
well he pushed and he pushed
and he pushed much too far
and now he's waking up
from scattered nights
with tattered dreams
and battlescars
