Glass House


Right now, nobody can bring you down
And you know it
You got the world on a string
You’re the kind of guy worlds revolve around
And you show it
You’re walking around like you’re king

But what happens when you’re down and you lose
And you’ve got nobody there
I’ll be watching, and I’ll laugh like you do
And you’ll pretend you don’t care

Feel like I’m running in a glass house
And my own reflection is all I see
And I look for someone to keep me from this black hole
But the only one there to stare back is me
And don’t tell me it makes me a better person
It doesn't help even if it's true
And don’t tell me that you could do so much better
Cause God help you if you spent one day in my shoes

You’re Mr. Handsome in a magazine
I see through you
By lookin’ into the light
You got your smirk, and that’s all you need
Screw you
I’m scared to look in your eyes

I’m afraid it might reveal part of me
That I’m too scared to show
I’ve got so much hidden way down beneath
That you’ll never know

Chorus

If you knew, would you feel badly for me
And what I’ve kept underground
Life comes easy, now, but someday you’ll see
That karma comes back around

    This is a horrible poem to go with 'Sharp dressed man'

    Or maybe just ironic.

    Mhmm.

    Anyway, Very nice.

    Perhaps we all live in glass houses.
