Nick Soma - Watertight featuring Kat (my sister)

Who cares if your answers are wrong or right,
If they think your alibi's watertight?
You live your life in patterns and scales,
With your fate decided by heads or tails.

And when you gaze at the sky tonight,
Are you pushed into a bout of fright?
'Cuz I can't stand to see you suffer this way,
As you turn your head and tell me it's OK.

You built this house with your own bare hands,
So you tell them, but no one understands.
They're passing by, and their words decay.
Your shield absorbs everything they say.
I know you're proud of that pod you got yourself stuck in,
But here I am, waiting for you
To shed your skin.

You need to grasp the concept, to see the whole.
So you say and get yourself a rubber soul.
You point a finger and you feel it sting.
Pointing back at you, it tears you from within.

You built this house with your own bare hands,
So you tell them, but no one understands.
They're passing by, and their words decay.
Your shield absorbs everything they say.
I know you're proud of that pod you got yourself stuck in,
But here I am, waiting for you
To shed your skin.

You put on a smile and tell me it's alright,
No need to worry, your life is watertight.
But I can't stand to see you suffer this way,
Come look me in the eyes, don't tell me it's OK.

I found myself pulled into this one, nice melody. I like how it gradually builds too.

What instrument is that taking the lead there? It's really catchy, and it gives the song a vaguely ethnic vibe, could be anything from Irish to Arabic. The chugging electric guitar in the second verse gives the song a great sense of momentum, but the vocals don't manage to keep up with the crescendo - maybe try adding some more harmonies or double-tracking your voice as the song gets louder. The ending is a bit sudden; it feels like there was more song there.
