[Intro]
F#5 A#5 A5 F#5 C/G A5 F#5 A#5 A5 F#5 C/G A5
[Verse 1]
F#5 A#5 A5
Climb into my corner on my self-inflicted coma
F#5 C5/G A5
Stand up, lay down, repeat in the same order
F#5 A#5 A5
Fall straight through the floor and let the time just run me over
F#5 C5/G A5
Another mirrored image corrupted and distorted
F#5 A5 G#5
I'm underwhelmed, uninterested, I wonder why I'm over it
[Refrão]
F#5 A5 G#5
Walk it off, the kettle's black, the dotted line, the house is glass
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D Bm
(The house is glass) the house is glass
C# F#
N.C.
(The house is glass) the house is glass
[Chorus 1]
D Bm
It's an illusion, this admiration
C# F#
Of mutilation, my isolation
[Próxima Parte]
D Bm C#
It's an illusion, this admiration, of mutilation
F#5 A5 F#5 A5
My isolation, my isolation
F#5 A5 F#5 A5
My isolation, it's an illusion
[Verse 2]
F#5 A#5 A5
Slide on down the staircase, that picture-perfect moment
F#5 C5/G A5
Receiver projected, act like if you own it
F#5 A#5 A5
Smile for the camera, repeat and do it over
F#5 C5/G A5
Smile for the camera, repeat and do it over
F#5 A5 G#5
Joke's on you, the needle prick, cut me down, I need a break
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
D Bm C#
It's an illusion, this admiration, of mutilation
F#5 A5 F#5 A5
My isolation, my isolation
F#5 A5 F#5 A5
My isolation, it's an illusion
[Bridge]
D Bm
Brick by brick, make it last
D Bm
Hit that line, the house is glass
[Interlude]
D Bm C# F# D Bm C# F# D Bm C# F# D Bm C# F#
[Chorus 3]
D Bm
It's an illusion, my isolation
C# F#
My isolation, my isolation
D Bm
It's an illusion, it's an illusion,
C# F#5 A5 F#5 A5
My isolation, my isolation, my isolation
