Ashen - Glass Cathedral (Lyric video)

Ashen - Glass Cathedral Built a house out of glass on the edge of the hill, Everybody's watching, so I'm standing perfectly still, Polished all the windows, hid the cracks in the floor, Put a sign on the front that says "Don't knock on the door". Got a crown made of mirrors, got a throne made of dust, Preaching to the empty rows of everyone I trust, Every prayer that I whisper bounces back in my face, Got a church full of echoes, but there's no one in this place. And the walls are getting thinner, I can hear the sound, One more breath, one more crack, and it all comes down. Let it shatter, let it fall, Glass cathedral, take it all, I don't need the perfect light, I'd rather bleed and feel alive. Let it shatter, let it break, Every lie was just a fake, Out of the ruins I will rise, Glass cathedral, say goodbye. You were looking at a picture, never looking at me, Hung my pain on the wall like a work of art to see, Taught me how to smile when the sky was on fire, Taught me how to sing in a borrowed choir. But the storm rolled in like a long-lost friend, Whispered in my ear that it's time to bend, And I felt every bell in my chest start to ring, Louder than the lies that you taught me to sing. And the walls are getting thinner, I can hear the sound, One more breath, one more crack, and it all comes down. Let it shatter, let it fall, Glass cathedral, take it all, I don't need the perfect light, I'd rather bleed and feel alive. Let it shatter, let it break, Every lie was just a fake, Out of the ruins I will rise, Glass cathedral, say goodbye. Walking through the pieces in my bare feet now, Every shard is a story, every scar is a vow, No more hiding in the shine, no more acting so strong, I'm learning that the broken ones know where they belong. Found a window in the wreckage, found a sky I forgot, Found a pulse in the silence that the fear never got, Now the sun's pouring in where the ceiling used to be, And for the first time in years, I can finally breathe. And the walls are gone forever, there's nothing left to hide, Just a heart and a heartbeat and a sky open wide. If you're standing in the ruins of who you used to be, There's a life beyond the glass, there's a place for you and me. Take my hand, take my hand, We'll build something real from the sand. Let it fall, Let it fall, Nothing left to lose at all, Let it fall. Let it shatter, let it fall, Glass cathedral, take it all, I don't need the perfect light, I'd rather bleed and feel alive. Let it shatter, let it break, Every lie was just a fake, Out of the ruins I will rise, Glass cathedral, say goodbye, Say goodbye. I'm still here...
