  • Climb into my corner, my self inflicted coma
    Stand up, lay down, repeat in the same order
    Fall straight through the floor and let the time just run me over
    Another mirrored image corrupted and distorted
    I'm underwhelmed, uninterested, I wonder why I'm over it
    Walk it off, the kettle's black
    The dotted line, the house is glass

    (The house is glass) The house is glass
    (The house is glass) The house is glass

    It's an illusion, this admiration
    Of mutilation, my isolation
    It's an illusion, this admiration
    Of mutilation, my isolation, my isolation
    My isolation, it's an illusion

    Slide on down the staircase, that picture-perfect moment
    Receiver projected, act like if you own it
    Smile for the camera, repeat and do it over
    Smile for the camera, repeat and do it over
    Joke's on you, the needle prick
    Cut me down, I need a break
    Walk it off, the kettle's black
    The dotted line, this house is glass

    (The house is glass) The house is glass
    (The house is glass) The house is glass

    It's an illusion, this admiration
    Of mutilation, my isolation
    It's an illusion, this admiration
    Of mutilation, my isolation, my isolation
    My isolation, it's an illusion

    Brick by brick
    Make it last
    Hit that line
    The house is glass

    It's an illusion, my isolation
    My isolation, my isolation
    It's an illusion, it's an illusion
    My isolation, my isolation, my isolation Writer/s: Bradley Shultz, Daniel Tichenor, Jared Champion, Matthan Minster, Matthew Shultz, Nicholas Bockrath
