"glass house" by Ani DiFranco

sitting in my glasshouse
while your ghost is sleeping down the hall
watching the little birds fly
kamikaze missions into the walls
think i'm gonna stay in today
sit on my couch and watch them fall

life just keeps getting harder
and it just keeps getting harder to hide
the darker it is around me
the easier it is to see inside
and outside the glass
the whole world is magnified
and it's half an inch   
from here to the other side

i guess that push has come to this
so i guess this must be shove
but before you throw those stones at me
tell me what's your house made of
and if you think you know what i'm doing wrong
you're going to have to get in line
yeah but for the purposes of this song
let's just say i'm doing fine
i guess i'm doing fine

trapped in my glasshouse
crowd has been gathering since dawn
i make a pot of coffee 
while catastrophe awaits me out on the lawn
i think i'm going to stay in today
pretend like i don't know what's going on

yeah, i guess that push has come to this
so i guess this must be shove
but before you throw those stones at me
tell me what's your house made of
and if you think you know what i'm doing wrong
you're going to have to get in line
so for the purposes of this song
let's just say i'm doing fine
i think i'm doing fine
doing fine
doing fine i am sitting in my glass house i am sitting in my glass house i am sitting in my glass house i am i am
