Glass House

Keep your faces
Stashed in a drawer
Seamless smiles
Not tattered or torn
Fake perfection
Molded to be your skin
You’ve never kept
Anyone around
Long enough to
Be found out
But I can see
You're starting to slip now


Sight’s deceived me
Disbelieving
Now I prefer to be blind


The tongue of a
Liar is in your mouth
It tastes so sweet
No one cares about
The first degree
Burns it is bound to leave
Hide a nightmare
Inside of a dream
And everything
Is not as it seems
Now that I know
Be ready to be exposed


Hide and seek
I’ll count to three
I already know where you’ll be


So: One, Two, Three
You’ll run and you'll hide
Behind a glass
Door, where everyone
Sees you clear as
Before, but you’ll feel
Safer when the
Door slams itself closed


Cracks in your glass
House, watch it as
Your whole world shatters down
