Metrocalypse from Starborn by Emberside

A:

Drop me in the crosswalk
Bursting at the seam
Reality collapses
Venom in the daydream
Can’t resist the pungence
Plunder every storefront

Walkers of the glass storm
Puncturing their veins
Look at how they crumble
Look at how they drain
A colony of ashes
Grows beneath the flashes

I’m trapped in a glass box
A hair apart from the demolition
And I won’t get to say goodbye
I’m mute to the carnage of the scarlet eye

They won’t know that I could’ve prevented
An era of extermination
But I couldn’t keep away

Murder on my fingers
A hurricane of bones
I’ve spent enough time alone I’m invulnerable
Maybe I can take some of my own

But the runes appear in thousands
More than I can handle
Fracturing the concrete
Sipping up the mantle

I could separate myself from the commonwealth
Lure the energy back to where it began

But I turn around to blackness
Cemented in the back seat
Can’t remove the lenses
Can’t return the peace

I’m trapped in a glass box
A hair apart from the demolition
And I won’t get to say goodbye
I strain my lungs but get no reply

They won’t know that I couldn’t prevent an
Era of extermination
But I couldn’t keep away

If I ever see a soul again
They wouldn’t get what I survived
I need someone to share my burdens with
There must be someone left to hear

I shattered the glass box
Released my strength into the population
And I won’t get to say goodbye
I won’t win no matter how hard I try

I’m sorry that I couldn’t prevent a
Countrywide annihilation
It’s too late
I’m all that's left
