about

6. Lady Behind The Glass (Ruby James, Sugar Ransom, Tarl Knight) Sugar Ranson - acoustic guitar, vocals / Tarl Knight - piano, vocals / Ruby James - electric guitar, vocals | inspired by: Stephanie Trenchard narrative glass sculpture, “Force Of Nature”

lyrics

I want to be somebody real
More than just a figure in a photograph
Searching for something I can feel
Don’t want to be the lady behind the glass

I want to be somebody else
I want to break a window through this mask
More than just a still-life of myself
Don’t want to be the lady behind the glass

Stuck inside a still reflection
In a block of frozen tears
Hiding from your imperfections
Through the glass, you’re crystal clear

You made this, now break this
So you can see you’re beautiful
If you can create this
I know that you can escape this

You made this, now break this
So you can see you’re beautiful
If you can create this
I know that you can escape this

I want to be somebody real
I want to be somebody real
I want to be somebody real
I want to be somebody real
