Porcelain

Five years old, first contact
Never too young to make a contract
My blueprints supposed to last
I don't remember the walls made of glass

Learned to protect myself
With a facade, hide what I want
Easier said than done
With a mask on, I can't take off

I've got a secret, but I can't afford for you to hear it
I've built a habit, but I haven't got the heart to break it
Yeah, you're putting all my common sense in past tense
I've got thick skin, but it's all porcelain and shattering, shattering

Shattering
Shattering

Crowd of three and I'm the one left out
And that was feeding this version of me now
I was folding like papermache
Just an ember catching into flames

Learned to protect myself
All my defense is counterfeit
Harder to see the truth
My confidence is almost spent

I've got a secret, but I can't afford for you to hear it
I've built a habit, but I haven't got the heart to break it
Yeah, you're putting all my common sense in past tense
I've got thick skin, but it's all porcelain and shattering, shattering

Shattering
Shattering

Look, don't touch, it's hard enough
When you got a lot to lose
Call my bluff when I'm too tough
I need you to cut me loose
From the prison I'm in, in my own mind
Yeah, you carry me through when I'm too tired

I've got a secret, but I can't afford for you to hear it
I've built a habit, but I haven't got the heart to break it
Yeah, you're putting all my common sense in past tense
I've got thick skin, but it's all porcelain and shattering, shattering

Shattering
Shattering
Oh, shattering
