Glass Crown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He sits in the back row Spare shoes, torn sleeve Name tag bent in half Like it don’t know him Lunch tray, cold fries Same corner seat Everybody passes by Like he ain’t real He bites down hard On words he won’t say Keeps the storm inside Till it leaks one day [Pre-Chorus] He’s been quiet too long Been counted out, been gone Now the floor starts shaking When he steps on [Chorus] Watch me now Watch me now I was small, now I’m loud Watch me now Watch me now I can shake this whole crowd They never saw me They never knew Now I’m the one You can’t walk through Watch me now Watch me now I was small, now I’m loud [Verse 2] At the locker doors He stands up straight Old fears in the dust By the varsity gates He’s got fire in his ribs And a steel-grey stare Every laugh they threw Turns to smoke in air He don’t need a crown He don’t need their cheer He just wants one second For them to fear [Pre-Chorus] He’s been quiet too long Been counted out, been gone Now the floor starts shaking When he steps on [Chorus] Watch me now Watch me now I was small, now I’m loud Watch me now Watch me now I can shake this whole crowd They never saw me They never knew Now I’m the one You can’t walk through Watch me now Watch me now I was small, now I’m loud [Bridge] All that silence Turned to thunder All that pushing Pulled him under Now he rises Hard and slow One loud breath And everyone knows [Final Chorus] Watch me now Watch me now I was small, now I’m loud Watch me now Watch me now I can shake this whole crowd They never saw me They never knew Now I’m the one You can’t walk through Watch me now Watch me now I was small, now I’m loud Watch me now Watch me now I’m the one they can’t ignore
