Glass Throne

[Verse 1]
You locked the doors
Threw away my name with the keys
Speaking in rules
Like you wrote the law on my knees
Every bruise had a reason
Every flinch was a crime
You measured my breathing
Counted my sins by the time
[Pre-Chorus]
You call it care
When you’re cutting my wings
You call it love
When you’re pulling the strings
All of your mercy
Tastes like metal and smoke
I learned how to smile
With my ribs half broke
[Chorus]
(Choir)
You don’t own me
You just sit on a glass throne
Built your kingdom out of bones and fear
But you stand there all alone
You don’t own me
Every scar is a war you lost
Hear the choir of the ones you crossed
Rising up to break your glass throne
[Drop]
[Bass and drums slam in; chopped choir shouts answer the lead vocal]
(hey!)
Break your throne
(hey!)
Hear us roar
[Verse 2]
You love the hush
Right before you raise your voice
You twist the truth
Till I’m strangled by your choice
You parade your power
Like a medal on your chest
But your shadow’s getting smaller
As my heartbeat beats your chest
[Pre-Chorus]
You call it fate
When you corner my mind
You call it faith
When you force me blind
Every command
Just another cracked lie
I’m done staying quiet
While you play god in my sky
[Chorus]
(Choir)
You don’t own me
You just sit on a glass throne
Built your kingdom out of bones and fear
But you stand there all alone
You don’t own me
Every scar is a war you lost
Hear the choir of the ones you crossed
Rising up to break your glass throne
[Bridge]
(Choir, low, haunting)
We are the echoes you tried to erase
We are the names you buried in shame
We are the fists that shatter your face
Of power
Of power
Of blame
[Final Chorus]
(Full choir, higher harmony)
You don’t own us
You just sat on a glass throne
Watched it splinter under every voice
Now you’re standing there alone
You don’t own us
Every scar sings a battle song
All together we were never wrong
Hear us rise and wreck your glass throne

Cinematic strings and choirs swell before the drop; bass design is jagged and snarling. Second chorus adds higher choir harmonies and glitchy vocal chops to escalate intensity., dubstep, edm
