Glass Steps to the Sky

[Verse 1]

Flashbulbs in my face

Silver on my skin

Smiling like I planned it

Hiding what I’m in

High heels on a tightrope

Rooms that say my name

Every door is open

Every mirror feels the same

[Chorus]

I’m walking up these glass steps to the sky

Every little crack I pass

I call it mine

If I go down in flames

Let them carve out my name

I was born to burn

Not just survive

On glass steps to the sky

[Verse 2]

Perfume on the curtain

Mascara on his shirt

Laughing in the limo

Bleeding through the work

Champagne on my lipstick

Tremor in my hand

If this is what a crown is

Then it cuts more than it can

[Chorus]

I’m walking up these glass steps to the sky

Every little crack I pass

I call it mine

If I go down in flames

Let them carve out my name

I was born to burn

Not just survive

On glass steps to the sky

[Bridge]

One day they’ll dress me in diamonds of dust

Hang me in stories and rumors and trust

Call me a legend like that fixes the cost

Sing of my victories

Forget what I lost

(oh, remember me)

[Chorus]

I’m walking up these glass steps to the sky

Every little crack I pass

I call it mine

If I go down in flames

Let them carve out my name

I was born to burn

Not just survive

On glass steps to the sky
