Glass Kingdom

Verse 1

Woke up in a room made of splintered light

Every wall a memory I tried to hide

Footsteps echo on a fractured floor

Every step a question, “Who was I before?”

Shadows wearing crowns made of rusted gold

Telling me the same lies they’ve always told

But I see the cracks where the daylight bleeds

And I feel a war waking up in me

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been living in a palace built on bones

Silent screams in the seams of the stone

But the tremor in my chest is getting loud

I’m done bowing to a broken crown

⸻

Chorus

This is my glass kingdom

Shattered but I still stand

Every crack in the walls

Is a map of where I am

Let the storm come down

Let the windows break and roar

I’ll wear these shards like armor

I’m not your victim anymore

This is my glass kingdom

Where the weak parts turn to flame

I was built to break and heal

I’ll rise, I’ll rise again

(Guitar solo)

⸻

Verse 2

Hallways full of ghosts that I used to be

Whispering in riddles, trying to chain my feet

Pictures on the wall start to fall like rain

Frames hit the ground, but I feel no shame

Fire in the throne room, smoke in my lungs

I’m coughing up the words I should’ve always sung

If the past is a blade pressed against my throat

I’ll bite down hard till the steel corrodes

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been living like a prisoner of glass

Every fear just a mirror from my past

Now I’m swinging like a hammer through the lies

Watch the whole damn fortress realign

⸻

Chorus

This is my glass kingdom

Shattered but I still stand

Every crack in the walls

Is a map of where I am

Let the storm come down

Let the windows break and roar

I’ll wear these shards like armor

I’m not your victim anymore

This is my glass kingdom

Where the weak parts turn to flame

I was built to break and heal

I’ll rise, I’ll rise again

⸻

Bridge / Breakdown

Bring the walls down, let it all collapse

Every broken promise, every faded mask

All the jagged edges cutting through my skin

Shape them into wings, I’m taking off again

Crown of shards on a bleeding brow

I earned every fracture I’m wearing now

If the kingdom falls, I’ll rebuild it twice

Out of ash, out of glass, out of sacrifice

(shouted-style lines if you want)

Tear it down! / Let it break!

I’m the quake / I’m awake!

No more chains / No more throne

I’m the kingdom / I’m my own!

⸻

Final Chorus

This is my glass kingdom

Shattered but I still stand

Every crack in the walls

Is a map of where I am

Let the storm come down

Let the windows break and roar

I’ll wear these shards like armor

I’m not your victim anymore

This is my glass kingdom

Etched in fire, teal and gold

From the ruins of my fear

A new dawn takes hold

This is my glass kingdom

Hear the fractures sing along

I was broken into glory

Now my damage makes me strong
