Glass Skyline

Lyrics

[Intro] Skyline burning On my screen New day loading New me [Verse 1] Wake up to the glow on my cracked phone Same shoes, same block, but my mind grown All those late nights scribbled in the margins Turned pain into plans, now I’m all in (yeah) Mama in the kitchen still humming old songs I’m plotting up a future that we both want Pocket full of change, head full of visions Nothing in my way but opinions [Chorus] I’m running through this glass skyline Every ceiling just another headline They said “slow down,” I hit fast time Watch me flip this broken past to a gold shine I’m running through this glass skyline Heart loud, I can hear that bassline Turn the doubt into a backlight Now I glow, now I glow in the black night (hey) [Verse 2] Cold air on my face when the door swings Whole crew on my back, that’s a sure thing Teacher used to say I was daydream-drunk Now I cash every “can’t” that they ever flung Jacket on my shoulders like a small crown Feet still on the same grey ground But my name in my head on the big screen Every loss that I took made a king’s theme (yeah) [Chorus] I’m running through this glass skyline Every ceiling just another headline They said “slow down,” I hit fast time Watch me flip this broken past to a gold shine I’m running through this glass skyline Heart loud, I can hear that bassline Turn the doubt into a backlight Now I glow, now I glow in the black night (woah) [Bridge] Who said I couldn’t? Who said I wouldn’t? I took that echo Turned it to thunder Step for the ones who never got this far Pray for the ones still stuck in the dark I’m that glitch that rewrote the code I’m that spark in the overflow (yeah) [Chorus] I’m running through this glass skyline Every ceiling just another headline They said “slow down,” I hit fast time Watch me flip this broken past to a gold shine I’m running through this glass skyline Heart loud, I can hear that bassline Turn the doubt into a backlight Now I glow, now I glow in the black night
