Glass House

You’re so brave with your head held high
Screaming down your lies
Just to keep them in line
But as soon as it looks
Like they’re going to fight
Your armour is paper
Just like your spine

Why did you go
And build your house of glass?
When your heart is full of stones
Well if you build
Build your house of glass
Be careful with the words you throw

Here we sit in the palm of your hand
Bending to your sway
As you make your demands
Your lack of control
Is damaging your soul
Don’t push this on me
It won’t make you feel whole

Build yourself up to unreachable heights
With foundations on sand
And these hands that will pull
Straight from beneath
If you never give anything

Yeah you built yourself up
Now can you hold it
Build your house of glass
And watch it break
Before your eyes
