Glass Crown

Silk on your tongue

Venom beneath

You call it devotion

We call it deceit

You call it respect

We call it fear

You sit on your throne As rebellion

draws near

There you stand

Above us all

You think you’re untouchable

But even kings can fall

Take off your glass crown

Before it shatters You look down upon us Like we don’t matter

So high, so high In the chandelier light

Step down from your pedestal

Or watch your kingdom fight

Ah-ah, ah-ah

What a long way down

Ah-ah, ah-ah From a glass crown

You wanted the praise

You wanted the throne

You claimed every victory

As yours alone

You wanted a kingdom

Silent and clean

No one left standing

Who dared disagree

Mark my words

You’ve had your way

But nothing built on lies

Was made to stay

One little fracture

Two little lies

Three final warnings

You chose to deny

Hear that sound?

They’re at your gates

You built your throne on fear Now face what you made

Higher (Higher)

Isn’t that what you wanted?

Higher

(Higher) Then don’t look down.

Take off your glass crown

It’s already shattered

You looked down upon us

Like we never mattered So high,

so high

Nowhere left to hide

You stood above a kingdom Now watch it rise

Ah-ah, ah-ah

What a long way down

Ah-ah,

ah-ah Pretty little glass crown
