Glasshouse Reflections: Fragile Fortresses of Words and Deception
Lyrics
You're so brave with your head held high
You exhibit courage with a confident demeanor.
Screaming down your lies
You express falsehoods loudly.
Just to keep them in line
You deceive to maintain control over others.
But as soon as it looks
When it seems there might be a confrontation,
Like they're going to fight
Your defenses, though, are fragile.
Your armour is paper
Your protection is as weak as paper,
Just like your spine
Similar to the vulnerability of your character.
Why did you go
Questioning the decision to...
And build your house of glass?
Construct a fragile and transparent dwelling.
When your heart is full of stones
Despite having a cold and unfeeling heart.
Well if you build
If you choose to build,
Build your house of glass
Construct it delicately with self-awareness.
Be careful with the words you throw
Cautioning against hurtful words.
Here we sit in the palm of your hand
We are under your influence,
Bending to your sway
Bowing to your commands.
As you make your demands
Your lack of restraint
Your lack of control
Harms your inner being.
Is damaging your soul
Refusing to accept responsibility,
Don't push this on me
Don't burden others with your issues.
It won't make you feel whole
It won't bring you fulfillment.
Why did you go
Again questioning the decision to...
And build your house of glass?
Construct a fragile and transparent dwelling.
When your heart is full of stones
Despite having a cold and unfeeling heart.
Well if you build
If you choose to build,
Build your house of glass
Construct it delicately with self-awareness.
Be careful with the words you throw
Cautioning against hurtful words.
Build yourself up to unreachable heights
Aspire for unattainable greatness,
With foundations on sand
But your foundation is unstable,
And these hands that will pull
These efforts will be futile,
Straight from beneath
If support is withdrawn.
If you never give anything
Without giving back,
Yeah you built yourself up
You've elevated yourself,
Now can you hold it
Can you sustain it?
Build your house of glass
Constructing a fragile dwelling,
And watch it break
Witnessing its collapse.
Before your eyes
Breaking before your eyes.
Why did you go
Again questioning the decision to...
And build your house of glass?
Construct a fragile and transparent dwelling.
When your heart is full of stones
Despite having a cold and unfeeling heart.
Well if you build
If you choose to build,
Build your house of glass
Construct it delicately with self-awareness.
Be careful with the words you throw
Cautioning against hurtful words.
