House Of Glass

from The Echotone EP by Echotone

lyrics

I’ve watched a while and I’ve seen some things
I’ve seen my love and all the hurt it brings
I went out walking and I lost my way
Too many things I didn’t think to say

I see the pain reflected in your eyes
I’ll try to fit you into my disguise
But when you tell me what I ought to be
It’s just my tendancy to disagree

‘Cause we’re both living in a house of glass
We’re throwing stones at people as they pass
And we’re just waiting while they wear their frowns
For that day when the walls come crashing down

I’ve carried troubles that nobody knows
They fell on me just like a hail of blows
And what my eyes can see my hands can rob
'Cause loneliness is still my steady job

So crowd me in with all your empty threats
And we’ll kid ourselves it matters in the end
I learnt my lesson and I learnt it well
But if it helped me only time will tell

‘Cause we’re still living in our house of glass
We’re throwing stones at people as they pass
And we’re just waiting while they wear their frowns
For that day when the walls come crashing down
Crashing down
Crashing down, down, down, down
Crashing down

And I’m still living in my house of glass
I’m throwing stones at people as they pass
And they’re just waiting while I wear my frown
For that day when the walls come crashing down
