Glass Houses Lyrics - Phoenix - The Classic Crime

They talk of glass houses 

Well I built a crystal cathedral 

And I took my stones to the rooftop 

To play target practice with people 

I was to young to know the difference 

I was just following orders 

When the glass shattered around me 

I learned a good lesson about my disorder 

I thought I was happy 

I said all the right things 

I naively believed that my ship couldn't sink 

But it did 

You got hung up on the outside 

You fake like you're living the good life 

But death and decay on the inside 

Just add pride and hate to your long list of crimes 

Somewhere deep down you know the difference 

Between love and following orders 

But if the chorus I sing is offensive 

It's proof that you've yet to address your disorder 

You thought you was happy 

You said all the right things 

You naively believed that your ship couldn't sink 

But it did 

You thought you were God and 

Judge of all of your friends and 

You naively believed that your ship couldn't sink 

But it did 

Grace comes to those who wait 

Comes to those who pray 

Through tears they'll sing 

We'll all sing 

We thought we was happy 

We said all the right things 

We naively believed that our ship couldn't sink 

But it did 

We thought we were God and 

Judge of all of our friends and 

We naively believed that our ship couldn't sink 

But it did 

Oh, it did 

Oh, it did
