lyrics

I'm alone but I'm with my friends;
I type out a message and I pretend.
Follow me to a world of things that I like,
and click like.

You can count popularity,
you can see who I like and see who likes me.
It's a game, only this game never ends,

so come and play in the room in the screen of life,
with the friends you don't know,
and me in the house of glass.

I'm a clown with a painted smile
to show to a world that is in denial.
It's control and we all have bits of a string we can pull

I would like to request you as a friend,
as a friend,
friend.

You can leave,
but I must make clear,
that your work, love and friendships are all on here
you can pay to be famous if you want.

so come and play in the room in the screen of life,
with the friends you don't know,
and me in the house of glass

spend your time at the screen of life,
with your friends and pretend,
with me in the house,
with us in the house,
alone in the house,
of glass.
