Throne of Broken Glass

Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah... another fuckin' day.

[Verse 1]
Pissed away my youth on a busted-ass guitar
Chasing ghosts of glory, a burning, fading star
Crawled through mud and blood, just to touch that neon sign
Now I'm king of this garbage heap, and this misery is mine

[Chorus]
All alone on this mountain high, with a crown of fucking thorns
Every smile is a plastic lie, just another soul that mourns
Built this empire from the dirt, now I'm trapped inside its walls
This goddamn success just hurts, watching all my idols fall

[Verse 2]
Whiskey for breakfast, pills to chase the dread
Empty rooms and echoes, voices in my head
They cheered my name, they bought my fucking hype
Now they're just vultures circling, waiting for the ripe

[Chorus]
All alone on this mountain high, with a crown of fucking thorns
Every smile is a plastic lie, just another soul that mourns
Built this empire from the dirt, now I'm trapped inside its walls
This goddamn success just hurts, watching all my idols fall

[Bridge]
Used to dream of this, used to fight and claw
Now I'm staring at the abyss, breaking every law
The silence screams louder than any goddamn crowd
Just a rich, fucked-up puppet, screaming from a shroud

[Chorus]
All alone on this mountain high, with a crown of fucking thorns
Every smile is a plastic lie, just another soul that mourns
Built this empire from the dirt, now I'm trapped inside its walls
This goddamn success just hurts, watching all my idols fall

[Outro]
Yeah... just fall... into the fucking dark.
