[Verse 1]
I built a city in the clouds
Brick by brick without a sound
Every dream became a tower
Reaching higher every hour
Everyone said I had it all
Watching from the ground below
But nobody could see the cracks
Beneath the gold
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause the higher I climbed
The less I could feel
The more that I won
The less it was real
[Build]
Tell me
What are we chasing?
Tell me
What are we worth?
When everything we’re holding
Turns to dust
Turns to dust
[Drop]
In my kingdom of glass
Kingdom of glass
Everything shines
But nothing lasts
Kingdom of glass
Kingdom of glass
Built it so high
Watched it collapse
Kingdom of glass
Kingdom of glass
I’m still searching
For something that lasts
[Verse 2]
All the lights looked like stars
From the penthouse in the dark
But the view gets lonely
When you’ve lost who you are
I traded moments for ambition
Traded peace for recognition
Now I’m standing in the ruins
Of everything I thought I’d need
[Pre-Chorus]
And the silence is louder
Than the crowd ever was
The truth finally found me
When I had nowhere to run
[Build]
Tell me
What are we chasing?
Tell me
What are we worth?
When everything we’re holding
Turns to dust
Turns to dust
[Drop]
In my kingdom of glass
Kingdom of glass
Everything shines
But nothing lasts
Kingdom of glass
Kingdom of glass
Built it so high
Watched it collapse
Kingdom of glass
Kingdom of glass
I’m still searching
For something that lasts
[Breakdown]
(Piano only)
Maybe the fall
Wasn’t the ending
Maybe the wreckage
Was showing me
What mattered all along
[Final Build]
Let it break
Let it shatter
Let the pieces hit the ground
Cause maybe losing everything
Is how we’re finally found
[Final Drop]
Kingdom of glass
Kingdom of glass
Everything shines
But nothing lasts
Kingdom of glass
Kingdom of glass
From the ashes
I am reborn
Kingdom of glass…
Kingdom of glass…
