GLASSHOUSE CITY — lyrics

[Verse 1] Neon breathing through the blinds Quiet streets, electric eyes Every corner knows my steps Every shadow keeps receipts I move like water, soft and slow Still the cameras follow close You call it safety, call it peace But I feel the key turn in the leash [Pre-Chorus] If I whisper, do they hear? If I vanish, am I here? Tell me where the night can hide When the city never blinks its eyes [Chorus] In a glasshouse city, I’m a light behind the glass Every look becomes a record, every moment has a tag You don’t touch me, but you track me like a map under my skin If you want me, stop watching—let me breathe again In a glasshouse city, I’m a name inside a file Smiling for the scanners, dying by a thousand miles If love is just a lens, then love was never love— It’s a system turned on us [Post-Chorus] Seen—saved—sorted Known—owned—reported [Verse 2] I hear my echo in the feed A softer voice that isn’t me They frame my life in perfect lines Crop the truth to fit the size I hold my phone like it’s a flame But it burns in a quieter way I used to run toward open skies Now I run from open eyes [Pre-Chorus 2] If I’m honest, do I fall? If I’m silent, do I stall? Tell me what it means to live When my privacy is something you forgive [Chorus] In a glasshouse city, I’m a light behind the glass Every look becomes a record, every moment has a tag You don’t touch me, but you track me like a map under my skin If you want me, stop watching—let me breathe again In a glasshouse city, I’m a name inside a file Smiling for the scanners, dying by a thousand miles If love is just a lens, then love was never love— It’s a system turned on us [Mid-song Drop] I don’t need a thousand eyes I need one truth that doesn’t buy I don’t need the world to stare I need one place that isn’t there 見ないで 追わないで 見ないで 追わないで [Final Chorus] In a glasshouse city, I’m a light behind the glass Every look becomes a record, every moment has a tag You don’t touch me, but you track me like a map under my skin If you want me, stop watching—let me breathe again In a glasshouse city, I won’t live inside your file I’m more than what you measure, more than numbers in a while If love is just a lens, then love was never love— So I’m shutting down the sun [Outro] Seen… saved… sorted… No… more… watching…
