Lyrics

Verse
Another tear falls silently in the mirror
In a marble tower sits another wife
Just a tired tarnished possession
Now her shine?s been gone a little while

Mostly numb save for a quiet longing
That sometimes ripples out the windowsill
Its not enough to bring out all the colors
That lie just beneath this man-made shell

Its not the first time burned
By sparks in your mind
Not the first time drawn
Out toward the light

Chorus
Through the window to the other side
Open your mind and see with your own eyes
Rapunzel in your tower so high
Don?t let him tell you you can?t fly

Verse
Singing pretty in this comfort zone
Music to keep from falling?
With a half open door the caged birds song
Is only a pretty way of stalling

Tear the pages from the book
Misguided stories that you?ve known
Time to write them for yourself
You don?t want the future that they?ve sown

Its not the first time burned
By sparks in your mind
Not the first time drawn
Out toward the light

Chorus
Through the window to the other side
Open your mind and see with your own eyes
Rapunzel in your tower so high
Don?t let him tell you you can?t fly

Bridge
Its no surprise the shape you?re in
Carrying original sin
When fables from these story books
Govern our lives, just take a look
All around, they?re all so full of answers
Don?t let them bring you down

Chorus
