Composed of an element so weak, so frail
Every time she reaches for the sky,
She fails
The escape from her shattered existence
Lies above out of her reach
But still sinking further and further
Into her own self-pity
The crack, the cut, the shattered tears
That hit the pavement
That hit the pavement
In this crumbling existence,
Like a champagne glass
Held together at its last seams
Held together at its last seams
With every try there's a little more bleeding
As her heart is leaking
The crack, the cut, the shattered tears
That hit the pavement
All she wants to do now is finish this
Tip the glass to the floor
Watch it shatter
So she will strive and strive
Reaching for the sky
As she cuts and bleeds
Waiting for the day she strives to be
This broken glass thrown into heaven
Every time she reaches for the sky,
She fails
The escape from her shattered existence
Lies above out of her reach
But still sinking further and further
Into her own self-pity
The crack, the cut, the shattered tears
That hit the pavement
That hit the pavement
In this crumbling existence,
Like a champagne glass
Held together at its last seams
Held together at its last seams
With every try there's a little more bleeding
As her heart is leaking
The crack, the cut, the shattered tears
That hit the pavement
All she wants to do now is finish this
Tip the glass to the floor
Watch it shatter
So she will strive and strive
Reaching for the sky
As she cuts and bleeds
Waiting for the day she strives to be
This broken glass thrown into heaven

Song is obviously about a girl who is a drug addict (the "element" in the first line). She has a tough life, drugs are her release. She's "reaching higher" by getting higher on drugs, but as she's doing this in an attempt to make her life better, it only makes her "sink further" into depression. She "wants to tip the glass" and "watch it fall", which obviously means kill herself, probably by overdosing on her drug. Powerful song. Who says metal can't be deep?
