Jack's Mannequin

the glass passenger by Alistair Chong

i'm a glass passenger
listening to the sound appeal
reverberating off this glass
and this is how it feels
the shuddering and the life
shaking down these walls i'm in
washing the senses and letting me go
and shattering this prisoner's inn

i'm a glass passenger
waiting for this crystal train
to take me out once more
smooth the splinters from this pain
forty-one days slowly pass along
i'm finding the notes i write
being sung by your song

but it's still a sweet lullaby
