He said the woods were such a dangerous place It made no difference if it was night or day I don't know how something with this beauty could hold danger But in this place, I see that I'm a stranger When you spend your whole life living In a glass dome Everything you see is through a lens Everything that's there is all there will be Nothing's ever past your present tense He said there's nothing for you outside these walls But there is so much here for me to be wary of I hear a snap A crack and I Don't know what it is I hear a growl and a hiss that I just can't dismiss When you spend your whole life living In a glass dome Everything you see is through a lens Everything that's there is all there will be Nothing's ever past your present tense Don't you ever want to live? Don't you ever want to go beyond? Even if it means getting torn apart Doesn't something out there still call your soul? The human condition of wanting more The downfall of everything that came before The call of the void that we can't control The way that we think that if we fall then we fall Cause when you spend your whole life living In a glass dome Everything you see is through a lens You can't think anything could ever be different Outside of it Far too conditioned by your present tense But he doesn't cry when he says it There's no tremble to his hands And he doesn't seem to be nervous About anything else in these lands And it makes you start to wonder If it's all just paranoid Cause we're all just kids who grew up too fast Just to fill our tailored voids When you spend your whole life living In a glass dome Everything you see is through a lens Everything that's there is all there will be Nothing's ever past your present tense
