Porcelain

[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
