Glass Cathedral

Stained glass sky with a fractured hue

Every color bleed when I look at you

Sanctuary walls but they cracking too

Faith fall down when the silence grew

Footprints echo in a hollow nave

Prayers turn dust in an empty grave

Choir of doubt in the chords I gave

Still I sing like I can be saved

Kneel to nothing but the weight I hold

Truth cut sharper than a crown of gold

Every promise that I ever told

Shatter quick when the night turn cold

Marble floor, see my face distort

Halo glitch when the guilt distort

I built this place as a last resort

Now I’m trapped in the art I forged

⸻

In this glass cathedral

Every word cuts lethal

When the light shines through

It exposes you

All my sins are see-through

Every crack speaks truth

If I bleed, I bleed in color

Staining every proof

⸻

Organ pipe with a bassline hum

808 like a judgment drum

I confess but the cure don’t come

Just reflections of what I’ve done

Internal rhythm like shattered chime

Tick in sync with a crooked spine

Built my throne out of brittle time

Now it splinters under every rhyme

Hands up high but they trembling

Devil in the detail whispering

Grace feel far, unforgiving

But I’m still here, still singing

Dust fall slow from the vaulted dome

Every echo remind I’m alone

But the louder the silence grown

The more I claim this broken throne

⸻

In this glass cathedral

Every flaw turns regal

When the light shines through

I see the real you

All the cracks reveal you

Nothing left to shield you

If I fall, I fall transparent

Let the whole world view

⸻

Shatter me

Let the pieces fall like rain

Every shard

Got my name engraved in pain

If I break

I break into a thousand rays

Turn the ruin into radiance

From the blaze

⸻

In this glass cathedral

I don’t kneel to evil

When the light cuts deep

I don’t retreat

All my scars cathedral

Built from what I’ve been through

If I bleed, I bleed like sunrise

Breaking clean through
