All alone in the glass house
Lie awake 'til the sun's out
Pink sky when you come down
M3 in the driveway
Caffeine for the heartache
Never wanna have it my way

Yeah, I f*ck up and lose control
Burned so many bridges, got nowhere to go
Bitches got these motives like Anna Nicole
I'm smoking cigarettes alone until it burn a hole
In my lungs, in my soul, in my denim coat
Same place I'ma keep that knife if I'ma slit my throat
This shit ugly, I was just with Nipsey, now he ghost
They even got my homie Pete out here, like, f*ck the jokes
Damn

All alone in the glass house (just keep it going)
Lie awake 'til the sun's out
Pink sky when you come down
Sometimes I wanna fuckin' scream or run away, I don't know

Ayy, life's been hard since seventeen
I've been through hell, I think I'm somewhere in-between
Caught in purgatory, I could paint the scene
Everything turned to a nightmare from a dream, look
Wish Lil Peep and me had spoke, but I can't get that back
Just came from Pittsburgh, damn, I'll miss my homie Mac
Yeah, last time I got off the stage, I looked Chester in the face
But now he gone, and ain't no going back, uh

Why don't you throw me in the damn flame?
Bury me in gold chains
Throw me in the damn flame
I'm waitin' on the rain to come and wash it all away
Why don't you throw me in the damn flame?
Bury me in gold chains
Throw me in the damn flame

Lately, I've been sick of livin' and nobody knows how I'm really feelin'
I always hated to smile, but it keep what is killing me hidden inside
I didn't sign up to be the hero, but I don't want to wind up a villain
I put my daughter to bed, then attempted to kill myself in the kitchen
Yeah, I should've screamed, but nobody listened
So I passed out with the blood dripping
In this glass house, feelin' like a prison
Me and death keep tongue-kissing
I just fell out with my lil' bro
The life getting to us, the drink getting to us, the drugs getting to us
It's highway to hell and everybody knew
What the f*ck were we doing? I'm feeling like

Why don't you throw me in the damn flame?
Bury me in gold chains
Throw me in the damn flame
I'm waitin' on the rain to come and wash it all away
Why don't you throw me in the damn flame?
Bury me in gold chains
Throw me in the damn flame

All alone in the glass house
Lie awake 'til the sun's out
Pink sky when you come down
M3 in the driveway
Caffeine for the heartache
Never wanna have it my way

Machine Gun Kelly

George Kelly Barnes (July 18, 1895 – July 18, 1954) better known as "Machine Gun Kelly", was an American gangster from Memphis, Tennessee, during the prohibition era. He attended Central High School in Memphis. His nickname came from his favorite weapon, a Thompson submachine gun. His most infamous crime was the kidnapping of oil tycoon and businessman Charles F. Urschel in July 1933 for which he, and his gang, collected a $200,000 ransom. Urschel had collected and left considerable evidence that assisted the subsequent FBI investigation which eventually led to Kelly's arrest in Memphis, Tennessee, on September 26, 1933. His crimes also included bootlegging and armed robbery. more »
