V5.5

[Intro] I was born... in a glass box. [Verse 1] Born in a glass box. Middle of the street. Everybody starin' while I'm tryin' to breathe. My shit gets smelled. My blood gets weighed. Everybody's got somethin' to say. They wave. They smile. They write my name. Then walk away like I'm the one to blame. [Pre-Chorus] Every eye. Every day. I disappear the more they stay. [Chorus] I'm in this glass box. I can't get away. Everybody's watchin'. Everybody stays. Nothing is private. Nothing is mine. Every little crack gets magnified. [Verse 2] Glass never blinks. Glass never lies. They count every scar behind my eyes. They judge how I walk. Judge how I speak. Judge every silence like I'm weak. I'm on display. I'm for the crowd. Even my thoughts ain't mine now. [Pre-Chorus] They don't know me. Still they decide. Piece by piece... I die inside. [Chorus] I'm in this glass box. I can't get away. Everybody's watchin'. Everybody stays. Nothing is private. Nothing is mine. Every little crack gets magnified. [Verse 3] I quit waving. Nobody cared. Started talking to the empty air. The fingerprints cover every wall. Don't know if I'm here at all. Maybe the city's outside my head. Maybe the glass is underneath my skin. Maybe I'm screaming without a sound. Maybe this box was never found. [Breakdown] LOOK AT ME. LOOK AGAIN. IS THIS ALL THAT I AM? [Final Chorus] I'm in this glass box. Nothing lets go. Everybody's watching. Nobody knows. I'm in this glass box. Born this way. Everybody leaves... but the eyes still stay. [Outro] Born... in a glass box.
