Glass House

[Verse 1] (MikelWJ) I think I've got a drinking issue, or is it a thinking issue? Or is it a thinking leads to drinking leads to sinking issue? Go ahead walk in my shoes, take a look at all that I do And tell me then if you think I'm weak, like you already do When the whole world's leaning on me, telling me they know that I'll lose That's when I took all my hate, and threw it down on these fools And I've been told that nice guys always finish last So I keep my heart colder than every winter past And in return, I'll live a life filled with loneliness And no one in this room truly will know what lonely is And I've been cursed; I can never open up to them That's why I drink like I never had a single friend So if you see me, don't ever make an assumption Turn and walk away, I'm just trying to function So I can sit here in solitude with no way out And throw all these fuckin' pebbles at my glass house [Hook] (Jay Young) Yeah, I've been alone, struggled on my own I've been to Hell and back, welcome to my home If you've been the same, you are not alone I've been there with you, for me it's not unknown Even though I'm living it up everywhere I go I'll never forget about the times that I was feeling low You got a friend in me, if you can feel me I'll walk with you on this boulevard of empty streets [Verse 2] (Jay Young) Problems rising every day, I gotta put them down But it's getting harder to ignore they're gaining ground Too many popping up, it's hard to deal with some So I'm only focused on getting rid of the smaller ones The bills are piling up, they'll topple any minute So I'm focused on a nine to five, I'm all up in it No friends outside of school, there's no time for that All I have is school, work and sleep, with some rap And if the nine to five doesn't work out in the end It's back to the fields to start this hustle up again Man of the house, the pressure's right on top of me Cuz my sisters' eyes are always looking out for me So if they see me fall, then they'll fall too What kind of model would I be if I let that come true? I gotta get it man, no distractions in my head There's no time for breaks, I can rest when I'm dead [Hook] (Jay Young) Yeah, I've been alone, struggled on my own I've been to Hell and back, welcome to my home If you've been the same, you are not alone I've been there with you, for me it's not unknown Even though I'm living it up everywhere I go I'll never forget about the times that I was feeling low You got a friend in me, if you can feel me I'll walk with you on this boulevard of empty streets [Verse 3] (Jay Young) Broken promises I can't keep, what's up with that I'm turning into a liar, but I can't fight it back Bouts of depression, sadness, anger They all cloud my mind, I feel like I'm in danger From myself, too many people let down I know I promised you I'd take you to the fairgrounds I wanna treat you right, cuz you lived my life You went through everything I did, in a different light You had your own problems, some I can't explain But you and me, both, we're no strangers to pain We're connected, bonded by traumatic events Side effects and casualties of our heritage I just wanna hold you close, we can work it out An overdose of happiness, I don't have a doubt That you and me can move together from our past And leave behind our houses made out of glass [Hook] (Jay Young) Yeah, I've been alone, struggled on my own I've been to Hell and back, welcome to my home If you've been the same, you are not alone I've been there with you, for me it's not unknown Even though I'm living it up everywhere I go I'll never forget about the times that I was feeling low You got a friend in me, if you can feel me I'll walk with you on this boulevard of empty streets
