Another dawn, another day
Wake up and put that smile on your face
The smile that says “I am fine”
But when no one is looking you dry your eyes
When did you last feel grounded?
By masked people, you’re surrounded
Lying to each other, day in, day out
All trying to find what their life is about
We’re living in plastic houses
When did you last feel grounded?
What’s it like to not care what others think?
Losing hours, each time you blink
We’re living in plastic houses
Hours in bed and you still feel drowsy
Apathy reigns, a normal day
If feelings have colours then today I’m grey
And I fall down to the ground
Of my bedroom, hit the floor
Every body part sore
Same shit, new day
This has happened before
I’ve always been restless
Buts its worse recently
Home doesn’t feel like home
And it’s hard to get to sleep
Existential crisis at 3 am
That’s gotta be a record
Here we go again
The cycle starts anew
Mask on, smile wide
Spend another day pretending that everything is fine
But in your head you’re to trying to get the answer down
To why under the mask your face is stuck in a frown
Nothing’s quite as fulfilling as it was back in the day
Stuck in a loop of longing for the old days again
But you remember, you weren’t even that happy back then
But it was probably the last time you confided in a friend
Your thoughts are just that; thoughts, all internalised
Locked away in your head for you to overanalyse
We’re living in plastic houses
Take a look at your surroundings
What can you see through the lingering cloud
Your thoughts are eaten up by an emotional drought
We’re living in plastic houses
Fire in your brain and you can't douse it
Go to sleep, hoping it'll stop the pain
Repeat the cycle, every single day
Right here, right now, on this day
Let the artifice we wear fade away
See our true selves, it's reflected in the song
Judge a book by it's cover, that's where you're going wrong
Remove your masks I want to see your faces
I want to you to show me what you hide when you fake it
And in this moment, in this song
We can all feel better when we stand as one
Melt down those plastic houses
Slam your fist, scream and shout it
Brighten up your surroundings
Burn the mask, I'm done hiding
Wear your heart on your sleeve
Unashamedly, I am what you see
I'm messed up, but surprise surprise
This is nothing new, so why should I lie?
