Glass House

[Tashking]

Glass House

Verse 1 (Male)
Three months since you threw my keys out the window
Said I'd never amount to more than this bedsit show
But here I am with coffee stains on yesterday's shirt
While you're painting your nails like nothing could hurt

Verse 2 (Female)
Your mother called again, said I'm dragging you down
Like I'm some kind of anchor in this sinking town
But you never mention how you stumble home at three
With excuses thinner than your false sympathy

Chorus (Both)
We're breaking all the windows in our glass house
Throwing stones and making plans to get out
But every door we slam just pulls us closer
To the wreckage of what we used to know, love

Verse 3 (Male)
Found your diary hidden in the bedroom drawer
Read about the man you wish I was before
Now I'm checking my reflection like a stranger would
Wondering if I'm misunderstood or just no good

MIDDLE (Female, then Male, then Both)
(Female)
You say you need space but you sleep in my bed

(Male)
You say you want truth but you live in my head

(Both)
We're addicted to the chaos, can't break free
From this beautiful catastrophe

Chorus (Both)
We're breaking all the windows in our glass house
Throwing stones and making plans to get out
But every door we slam just pulls us closer
To the wreckage of what we used to know, love

Solo
(Guitar solo with vocal ad-libs)
(Female)"Why can't we just..."
(Male) "This isn't working..."
(Both) "But I can't let go..."

Middle 8 (Both but in a round with Male first)
You say you need space but you sleep in my bed
You say you want truth but you live in my head
We're addicted to the chaos, can't break free
From this beautiful catastrophe

Final Chorus
We're breaking all the windows in our glass house
Throwing stones but never finding the way out
Every door we slam just pulls us deeper
Into the wreckage of what we used to know

Outro
(Female)
Still sleeping in your bed tonight

(Male)
Still living in your head tonight

(Both - whispered)
In our glass house.......glass house......
Breaking windows......... throwing stones......

This is the first song I've plucked up the courage to post having read the forums for years

I've around 10 in total

Thanks
