Mouthful Of Honey, Shards Of Glass

As I stood staring at the bag holding the honey jar that had just shattered on the studio floor, this song poured in.

I hate being stuck in corners - poverty, love headed south -but it's a place I've been to a few times none the less.

Mouthful of honey, shards of glass, shards of glass
It's a mouthful of honey, shards of glass
Sweet coming on, bitter at the last, bitter at the last
Mouthful of honey, shards of glass

And when I give my all
Will you ever come halfway
When will you lay that mirror down
Whose edges always cut me like a blade?

The calm is all but gone, now it's seconds till the blast, seconds till the blast
Mouthful of honey, shards of glass

I fight to find my way
You fight for sport alone
When will you lay that mirror down
Whose edges always cut me to the bone?

Sweet coming on, bitter at the last, bitter at the last
Mouthful of honey, shards of glass
