In "Made of Glass," David Kushner watches a loved one climb toward fame, pupils swelling from a sugar pill while contracts dry in ink. The affection predates the flashing lights, yet those lights will never warm a cold night. Everyone sees through the performance, and the fragile image is about to crack. The warning lands too late, only after the darkness arrives.
Made of Glass Lyrics by David Kushner
Made it up the hill what a sight
Pupils start to swell in your eyes
It’s just a sugar pill, why you high?
Signing every deal, ink is dry
I knew before flashing lights
But they won’t keep you warm late at night
You’re trying to be someone you’re not
Oh, everybody sees it
You’re made of glass, have you forgot?
Oh, everybody sees it
(Oooooh-oooh) Who you think you’re fooling?
(Oooooh-oooh) Everybody sees it
The static in your head must be loud
You’re not the one, I met the inner child
I knew before flashing lights
But they won’t keep you warm late at night
You’re trying to be someone you’re not
Oh, everybody sees it
You’re made of glass, have you forgot?
Oh, everybody sees it
(Oooooh-oooh) Who you think you’re fooling?
(Oooooh-oooh) Everybody sees it
No throwing stones when you’re about to crack
Nobody tells you though, until the light go black
