Porcelain Video (MV)

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 paper-mache
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
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
