[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, syncopated drums] (Yeah!) [Verse 1] [bass and drums continue, gritty male vocals] I came in through the back gate Dust on my boots, blood in my throat You had your hand on the switchblade I had a match and a prayer in the smoke You said, "Boy, you don't scare me" I laughed and let the silence bite The floorboards shook when I stepped in Like a train rolled through the night [Pre-Chorus] Now the room is bending Now the walls are singing back I feel the whole thing shaking Right before it snaps [Chorus] [full band, heavy distortion] Glass house riot Glass house riot We break, we rise, we burn Glass house riot Glass house riot You hear that wild return (Oh yeah!) [Verse 2] [guitar riff continues] Shed a mood like a rumor Across the red of the curtain glow I saw my name in the mirror Written in the dirt and the gold The band kept pushing the thunder I kept my voice on the edge Every hard word that you threw at me Turned into fire instead [Pre-Chorus] Now the room is bending Now the walls are singing back I feel the whole thing shaking Right before it snaps [Chorus] Glass house riot Glass house riot We break, we rise, we burn Glass house riot Glass house riot You hear that wild return (Yeah!) [Bridge] [drums drop to half-time, bass-heavy] Hands up, baby, let it fall I've been waiting on the crack in it all If the sky comes down, let it come I'll sing through the wreck till I'm done [guitar solo with wah-wah effect] [Chorus] Glass house riot Glass house riot We break, we rise, we burn Glass house riot Glass house riot You hear that wild return [Outro] [heavy guitar chords, feedback] Now watch this house burn [final drum hit]
