Story behind the song
This song, I wrote about my songwriting style and process. It mixes the two parables "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" and "He without sin shall cast the first stone". Simplified I was trying to say "I know I do these things too, but the still need to be said".
Lyrics
Verse 1 I borrow a piece of paper ‘cause my notebook is full All the pages got filled up while I was spilling out my soul I’m better in real time when I let it move through me I don’t know what to do, so I just keep that pen moving Words turn into sound As I’m writing them down I re-read what I think And I meet the real me Create confidence Witness originality Accept the consequence And that’s the reality Chorus I'll throw the stone I'm not perfect I know But I've got to get out Of this God damn glass house The panes are like mirrors And my pain is so clear Can't look at myself So I cry out for help Arms out, spinning around Let it all crash down The shards are like a snowflake In a slow motion earthquake As the glass cuts my skin So I let it sink in In this shiny debris I am finally free Of me Verse 2 I can't do this alone The only meaning is my own Like a secret that I've kept Of a brilliant concept Just a thought that I had But I'm scared that it's bad What do you think I mean Words describing a scene And your picture is different Than the one in my mind Yours was there in an instant Mine developed in time And its not up to me How the artwork will read But I try to emote With the words that I wrote Does it make you feel Like my thoughts are real Does it mean anything If the viewer's just me Chorus I'll throw the stone I'm not perfect I know But I've got to get out Of this God damn glass house The panes are like mirrors And my pain is so clear Can't look at myself So I cry out for help Arms out, spinning around Let it all crash down The shards are like a snowflake In a slow motion earthquake The glass cuts my skin So I let it sink in In this shiny debris I am finally free Of me
