Adelle Hart - Glass Case Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Perfect posture, perfect smile
They've got me labeled, filed away
Behind this crystal prison wall
Where they can watch me on display
Like some damn porcelain ballerina
Wound up tight to dance their way

[Chorus]
In this glass case of expectations
Every breath is calculated
Touch me like I might just break
But I'm suffocating
In this glass case of their making
Watch me while I'm fading
Pristine puppet on display
But my soul's escaping

[Verse 2]
Metronome keeps ticking by
As I perform their symphony
They polish me until I shine
But can't they see I'm wearing thin?
Their precious little music box
Playing tunes that ain't my own

[Bridge]
Cracks appearing in the glass
Can't keep this facade forever
Let these shackles turn to ash
Time to break this spell, whatever

[Chorus]
In this glass case of expectations
Every breath is calculated
Touch me like I might just break
But I'm suffocating
In this glass case of their making
Watch me while I'm fading
Pristine puppet on display
But my soul's escaping

[Outro]
Watch me shatter, watch me soar
Not your perfect piece no more
Finally breathing, finally free
This broken girl is finally me
