Glass House
Machine Gun Kelly Lyrics

All alone in the glass house
Feeling isolated in a vulnerable place

Lie awake 'til the sun's out
Unable to sleep due to inner turmoil

Pink sky when you come down
Feeling disillusioned and lost

M3 in the driveway
Material possessions as a form of self-validation

Caffeine for the heartache
Using substances to cope with emotional pain

Never wanna have it my way
Feeling powerless and not in control of one's life

Yeah, I fuck up and lose control
Admitting to personal faults and struggles with self-discipline

Burned so many bridges, got nowhere to go
Experiencing the consequences of past mistakes and feeling stuck as a result

Bitches got these motives like Anna Nicole
Being wary of people's intentions and feeling used or manipulated by them

I'm smoking cigarettes alone until it burn a hole
Using unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with emotional pain and feeling alone in one's struggles

In my lungs, in my soul, in my denim coat
Experiencing physical and emotional pain that is ingrained and constant

Same place I'ma keep that knife if I'ma slit my throat
Feeling overwhelmed and having suicidal thoughts

This shit ugly, I was just with Nipsey, now he ghost
Experiencing profound loss and grief

They even got my homie Pete out here, like, fuck the jokes
Feeling angry and frustrated with jokes made at the expense of people's struggles and pain

All alone in the glass house (just keep it going)
Continuing to feel isolated and vulnerable

Sometimes I wanna fuckin' scream or run away, I don't know
Feeling overwhelmed and not knowing how to cope with the intensity of emotions

Ayy, life's been hard since seventeen
Experiencing difficulties since a young age

I've been through hell, I think I'm somewhere in-between
Having experienced intense pain and trauma, but not knowing how to move forward

Caught in purgatory, I could paint the scene
Feeling stuck in limbo and unable to make progress

Everything turned to a nightmare from a dream, look
Feeling disillusioned and betrayed by life's realities

Wish Lil Peep and me had spoke, but I can't get that back
Regretting missed opportunities and wishing for closure or resolution

Just came from Pittsburgh, damn, I'll miss my homie Mac
Still grieving the loss of a friend and feeling the weight of that loss

Yeah, last time I got off the stage, I looked Chester in the face
Experiencing the impact of loss, even in seemingly mundane moments

But now he gone, and ain't no going back, uh
Feeling the finality and permanence of loss

Why don't you throw me in the damn flame?
Feeling overwhelmed by pain and wanting an escape or release

Bury me in gold chains
Expressing a desire for material success and validation

I'm waiting on the rain to come and wash it all away
Hoping for a change or release from one's current circumstances

Lately, I've been sick of livin' and nobody knows how I'm really feelin'
Experiencing deep emotional turmoil and feeling misunderstood

I always hated to smile, but it keep what is killing me hidden inside
Putting on a facade to hide intense pain and struggle

I didn't sign up to be the hero, but I don't want to wind up a villain
Feeling the pressure to be a certain way, but not wanting to succumb to negativity

I put my daughter to bed, then attempted to kill myself in the kitchen
Struggling with intense emotional pain and almost succumbing to it

Yeah, I should've screamed, but nobody listened
Feeling alone and unheard in one's struggles

So I passed out with the blood dripping
Feeling the intensity of the situation and almost succumbing to it completely

In this glass house, feelin' like a prison
Feeling trapped and isolated in a vulnerable place

Me and death keep tongue-kissing
Feeling like death is imminent and inescapable

I just fell out with my lil' bro
Experiencing conflict and tension in a close relationship

The life getting to us, the drink getting to us, the drugs getting to us
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope with the intensity of life's challenges

It's highway to hell and everybody knew
Feeling like one is on a path to destruction and that it is a well-known fact

What the fuck were we doing? I'm feeling like
Questioning past choices and actions and feeling lost
