Yard Act
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Learned to protect myself
With a facade, hide what I want
Easier said than done
With a mask on, I can’t take off
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Shattering
Shattering
[Verse 2]
Crowd of three and I'm the one left out
And that was feeding this version of me now
I was folding like paper-mache
Just an ember catching into flames
[Pre-Chorus]
Learned to protect myself

All my defense is counterfeit
Harder to see the truth
My confidence is almost spent
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Shattering
Shattering
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Shattering
Shattering
Oh, shattering
