[Intro] A glass cathedral none could drink A silver thread on the river's brink [Verse 1] The water walked its own parade A polished blade that never strayed So flawless that no mouth would dare Disturb the stillness sleeping there And this was not a twist of fate A jewel locked behind a gate [Pre-Chorus] It lacked the willow's weeping hand The tangled roots that clutch the land It lacked the salt of living things The heavy crown a river brings [Chorus] It needed waves to crack its glass It needed stones to let it pass It needed life to make it whole This mirror with a hollow soul A glass cathedral none could drink A silver thread on the river's brink [Verse 2] It missed the moss upon its stone The silver fish that swam alone So thick with dragonflies and sun A feast of hunger left undone It missed the freedom just to be A restless, winding, wild sea [Chorus] It needed waves to crack its glass It needed stones to let it pass It needed life to make it whole This mirror with a hollow soul A glass cathedral none could drink A silver thread on the river's brink [Post-Chorus] Oh, let it run, oh, let it roam Oh, let it find its way back home Oh, let it ache, oh, let it bleed Oh, let it be what rivers need [Bridge] A polished diamond, cold and lone A mirror with no heart of stone No mud, no moss, no minnow's flight No shadow swallowing the light It begged for something real to hold A story waiting to be told [Chorus] It needed waves to crack its glass It needed stones to let it pass It needed life to make it whole This mirror with a hollow soul A glass cathedral none could drink A silver thread on the river's brink [Outro] A glass cathedral none could drink A silver thread on the river's brink It needed life to make it whole This mirror with a hollow soul
