The Glass City - Don't Open Lyrics

You're laying in your bed
Scared of what can be said
While you stare at your phone
You know that message feels wrong

You're gonna lay there and cry
As you stare up at the sky
And ponder what you did wrong
While you listen to songs

You know that life's a big ass wreck
You don't know what will happen next
You wonder what you should do
As you lose someone who was close to you

Had the best years of your life
With that someone by your side
Now you feel all alone
You know you shouldn't have opened up your phone

You were brought in by temptation
Now you pay the emotional damage
So don't open up the message
You'll take in all the carnage and face an emotional war

Burned through your brain and your core
No one to trust and to love
Loved ones grow old and pass on
All your friends when you were young
Cut off connection the fun is done

You're scared for the life
As the doctor leaves out a sigh
And brings the terrible news

There's just nothing we can do
Someone you grew up with in your life
Is gone in an instant life flew by

And took you for a ride
You wish you could find a place to hide
You think of them again a few days later
But now the pain is getting greater

You were brought in by temptation
Now you pay the emotional damage
So don't open up the message
Or you'll take in all the carnage

And face an emotional war
Burned through your brain and your core
No one to trust and to love
Loved ones grow old and pass on

All your friends when you were young
Cut off connection the fun's done

High school's done you graduated
You and your friends all celebrated
Now it's time to go to college
Your whole friend group separated

Your old friends have lost connection
You feel so lost and empty without them
You wish you could be with them forever
But your memories fade away together

You see them on holiday and occasion
Something feels wrong in the conversation
They seem to move on with their life
A girl they could call their future wife

You feel left alone and isolated
Don't explain it's complicated
It feels so wrong when you get home
As your TV contacts roam around

You were brought in by temptation
Now you pay the emotional damage
So don't open up the message
Or you'll take in all the carnage

And face an emotional war
Run through your brain and your core
No one to trust and to love
Loved ones grow old and pass on

All your friends when you were young
Cut off connection the fun's done
No time left to apologize
To the friends that you have left behind

In order to continue life
You wrote this one more time
When you are feeling fine
Everything could be the way it was

But there'll always be a message
Must not open
Don't open
Don't open
