[Verse 1] I built a throne of glass From every broken plan Counted every fracture Like holy grain in hand The kettle hissed in 7 The floorboards knew my name I wore my sorrow formally And called it sacred flame [Pre-Chorus] Spin the wheel Let it lean I have become My own machine Hold the line Split the seam Say my name In minor beams [Chorus] Oh, I am the chosen wound I am the sky in ruin Bow to the glass cathedral Hear what the cracks are doing Oh, I am the chosen wound I am the sky in ruin Bow to the glass cathedral I made my home in the breaking [Verse 2] Seven mirrors on the wall Each one told a bluer lie I fed them all my daylight Then watched my daylight die A velvet king of warning signs A martyr in a tie I took the scenic route through grief And waved at passing time [Pre-Chorus] Spin the wheel Let it lean I have become My own machine Hold the line Split the seam Say my name In minor beams [Chorus] Oh, I am the chosen wound I am the sky in ruin Bow to the glass cathedral Hear what the cracks are doing Oh, I am the chosen wound I am the sky in ruin Bow to the glass cathedral I made my home in the breaking [Bridge] [Half-Time] I kneel to my reflection And it kneels back at me We trade a crown of thunder For a pocket full of keys The oracle is coughing The saints have lost their gold But I still sing like history Is waiting to be told [Chorus] Oh, I am the chosen wound I am the sky in ruin Bow to the glass cathedral Hear what the cracks are doing Oh, I am the chosen wound I am the sky in ruin Bow to the glass cathedral I made my home in the breaking [Outro] Raise the veil Strike the bell I fell apart Quite beautifully Raise the veil Strike the bell I fell apart And called it destiny
