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
