Back to SplashyRadio

Yeah…

Sometimes it's not about who's lookin' in.

It's about what's lookin' back at you.

We built this house out of glass

Now I can see straight through my past

Walls that shine but they don't last

Every breath feels thin like glass

I keep patchin' up what's broken

Talkin' less, stayin' focused

Keep my circle tight like tokens

Ain't no lock when your heart stays open

Windows let the daylight in

But they also let the cold begin

I been tryna stay warm within

Stackin' peace where the hurt's been

I still let the cold in

I still let the cold in

Even when I close the door

Still feel the wind I felt before

I still let the cold in

Yeah, I still let the cold in

Built my life outta trial and error

Brick by brick, learned to bear it

Every crack's a story I cherish

Every scar, I had to wear it

I see rain hit the pane, drip slow

Feels like time sayin', "Let it go"

But I still fight that pull below

Tryna grow roots where the light don't go

Ain't about pain, it's about pace

Ain't about wins, it's about grace

Been alone, but I'm okay

I find my peace in the decay

Open floor plan, still confined

Got the space, but not the mind

Glass walls magnify

Every thought I tried to hide

I still let the cold in

I still let the cold in

Even when I close the door

Still feel the wind I felt before

I still let the cold in

Yeah, I still let the cold in

Every sound bounce off the walls

Every echo knows it all

If these rooms could talk

They'd say I never learned to fall

Without reachin' for the floor

Without wishin' for some more

But that's me —

The same soul, just a different war

Glass house, still breathin' slow

Glass house, still got room to grow

Built it strong, but I let the cold in

Built it strong, but I let the cold in

About this song

"house of glass" is a lo-fi alternative hip-hop track by steve, released through SplashyRecords and featured on SplashyRadio. Built around steady late-night momentum, the song turns a glass house into a portrait of self-protection, old hurt, and the things that still get in even after the door is closed. Its focus is quiet but firm, finding growth in cracks, scars, and the slow work of staying warm within.
