Safe little house, safe little friends
Safe little thoughts to keep you safe
From all those big bad wolves that eat you up
(Aw shit)
Safe in your room, safe as a tomb
Sleep in a coffin made of glass
It takes a big facade to hide the cracks
Can you make this last?
'Cause now I'm not so sure
Are you up to the task?
Sometimes the sickness is the cure
(Sickness is the cure)
You're searching so hard
You've lost yourself
Does it help you to play as you're wasting away
Like a silver screen cliche?
'Cause, after all, we're actors on a stage
Would it help you to wait for the moment to break?
Is it real, or is it fate?
All we are are just chapters on a page
('Cause, after all, we're actors on a stage)
Here in the now, shedding the doubts
They'll be no past or future tense
Regret's a waste of time, and plans will change
(Plans will always change)
Oh, some for the worst, some for the best
You know you can't always get your way
(So selfish!)
So worried about what's next, you lost today
(Oh, you lost today)
Can you make this last?
'Cause now I'm not so sure
Are you up to the task?
Sometimes the sickness is the cure
(Sickness is the cure)
You're searching so hard
You've lost yourself
Does it help you to play as you're wasting away
Like a silver screen cliche?
'Cause, after all, we're actors on a stage
Would it help you to wait for the moment to break?
Is it real, or is it fate?
All we are are just chapters on a page
('Cause, after all, we're actors on a stage)
Can you let yourself?
Can you let yourself?
Will you let yourself?
Will you let yourself let go?
Let go (x2)
Safe little house, safe little friends
Safe little thoughts to keep you safe
Does it help you to play as you're wasting away
Like a silver screen cliche?
'Cause, after all, we're actors on a stage
Would it help you to wait for the moment to break?
Is it real, or is it fate?
All we are are just chapters on a page
Does it help you to play as you faded away
Like a memory?
'Cause all we are just chapters on a page
(Chapters on a page)
And, after all, we're actors on a stage
Safe little thoughts to keep you safe
From all those big bad wolves that eat you up
(Aw shit)
Safe in your room, safe as a tomb
Sleep in a coffin made of glass
It takes a big facade to hide the cracks
Can you make this last?
'Cause now I'm not so sure
Are you up to the task?
Sometimes the sickness is the cure
(Sickness is the cure)
You're searching so hard
You've lost yourself
Does it help you to play as you're wasting away

I think it's about someone who has locked themselves away from the rest of the world, and kind of living in a fantasy world of their own - a bit like Avoidant Personality Disorder. They have probably had a tough old time in life and have decided to play it safe, and sort of 'stay on track'. I actually love this song, so much.
It's like they are pretending that everything in their life is ok, hence the 'big facade to hide the cracks'. Putting on a front, but not knowing how much longer you can keep it up. It's really sad, it sounds kind of desperate, the way Alex sings it :(
Especially love the lines:
"Sometimes the sickness is the cure"
"You're searching so hard, you've lost yourself"
"It takes a big facade to hide the cracks"
"Regrets a waste of time and plans will change, some for the best, some for the worst, you know you can't always get your way. So worried about what's next, you lost today"
