House of Glass

Put my heart on the line
Just to watch it crumble
Beat against the walls
But the cage won't rattle

I know that if I walk away
I'll be betrayed by the pattern
Should I keep my head in the game?
(Or will I fall to the bottom?)

I never speak for myself
Wanna be somebody else
I try to reach for the top
But then we fall to the bottom
I cry that life isn't fair
Like no one ever compares
And I am never enough
I'm falling back to the bottom
Back to the bottom, back to the bottom
(Back to the bottom)

I can keep switching lanes
Get there later, faster
Hold my every complaint
I'm told my voice won't matter
I don't wanna waste all this pain
And rise to fall to the bottom

In this house made of glass
These walls were built to shatter
When I pick up the mess
Before seems worse than after

I know that if I walk away
I'll be betrayed by the pattern
Should I keep my head in the game?
Or will I fall to the bottom?

I never speak for myself
Wanna be somebody else
I try to reach for the top
But then we fall to the bottom
I cry that life isn't fair
Like no one ever compares
And I am never enough
I'm falling back to the bottom
Back to the bottom, back to the bottom
Back to the bottom

When it rains
When it pours
The pit that I have fallen in
Will deepen even more
Let it rain
Let it pour

Fall back

We never speak for ourselves
Wanna be somebody else
We try to reach for the top
But then we fall to the bottom
We cry that life isn't fair
Like no one ever compares
And I am never enough
I'm falling back to the bottom

Back to the bottom, back to the bottom
Back to the bottom, back to the bottom
Back to the bottom, back to the bottom
Back to the bottom
