[Intro] [Verse 1] Chin up, back straight, don’t you dare blink Smile at the camera, don’t you overthink They built this cage out of clear, cold ice Told me, "Look pretty, baby, and play nice." Every step I take, I hear the floor crack Waiting for the judgment, waiting for the attack Keep my lips sealed, keep my hands in my lap I’m so sick of running on this treadmill track [Pre-Chorus] ‘Cause I’m choking on the fumes of a perfect facade Playing the queen for a gallery of frauds Got petrol in my pocket, a flame in my hand I’m done playing nice... I’m taking a stand! [Chorus] So let it shatter! Let it fall! I’m done bleeding for this glass house! Strike the match and watch it burn! I’m taking back the ashes, ain't never returning! Keep your perfect little views, I’m breaking out of the crowd Yeah, I’m burning the glass house down! Burn it down. Burn it down. Burn it down. Burn it down. Burn it down. Burn it down. [Verse 2] Now the smoke’s rising thick, the alarms start to scream Waking up the neighbours from their sickly sweet dream They’re throwing their stones, but they’re bouncing right off I’m the villain of the story, and I’m laughing it off No more tiptoeing round in my bare feet I’m dancing on the shards to a brand new beat You wanted a doll? Well, you got a ghost Now I’m the one who’s haunting the most [Pre-Chorus] ‘Cause I’m choking on the fumes of a perfect facade Playing the saint for a gallery of frauds Got petrol in my pocket, a flame in my hand I’m done playing nice Im taking a stand! [Chorus] So let it shatter! Let it fall! I’m done bleeding for this glass house! Strike the match and watch it burn! I’m taking back the ashes, ain't never returning! Keep your perfect little views, I’m breaking out of the crowd Yeah, I’m burning the glass house down! [Bridge] They said I was fragile... They said I would break... Said I was a mirror... Just a prop for their sake... But they forgot one thing about the clear, cold pane... When the temperature rises... When you pour on the disdain... IT ALL MELTS AWAY! YEAH, I AM THE FLAME! [Chorus] So let it shatter! Let it fall! I’m done bleeding for this glass house! Strike the match and watch it burn! I’m taking back the ashes, ain't never returning! Keep your perfect little views, I’m breaking out of the crowd Yeah, I’m burning the glass house down! [Outro] Watch it burn. Watch it shatter. None of it matters. I’m walking away. Burn it down.
