Lyrics

[Verse]
They dye the sky with silver threads
A mass illusion in their stead
Behind the veil their pockets fill
The world bent to their silent will

[Verse 2]
They sell us dreams but mend the dice
The game's a maze of quiet lies
A ladder built up just for show
While boots are pressed on those below

[Chorus]
Glass ceilings cracking but they won’t break
Gold chains that bind us
Sharp as a stake
They own the board
They own the flame
Their painted smiles mask the shame

[Verse 3]
They tip the scales with leaden hands
Rewrite the rules
Redraw the lands
We barter hope for fleeting grace
While the 1% erase the trace

[Bridge]
A chandelier that blinds the poor
It swings above the empty floor
Behind the gleam
Behind the glass
They're tethered by their darkened past

[Chorus]
Glass ceilings shatter when voices rise
Gold chains will rust under weary skies
The rigged machine will one day fall
When broken hearts take the call
