[Verse 1] I woke in a map of bones With your name in the margins Gold ink on my hands And a storm under my tongue You said, "Follow the water" So I crossed the black fields Past the chalk-white towers Past the place where the wolves kneel [Pre-Chorus] And the ground kept calling Like it knew my step Every door I touched Opened into you [Chorus] Glass crown, hold me up Glass crown, make me brave I was built for the fall Now I kneel and I stay Glass crown, take my vow Glass crown, say my name If the world turns to dust I will still remain (Glass crown) (glass crown) [Verse 2] There was ash in the chapel And rain in the hall Your banner was torn But it still would not fall I gathered the shards From the mouth of the dark Put them back one by one Till they lit up my heart [Pre-Chorus] And the silence answered With a silver chord Every bruise I wore Turned to armor for war [Chorus] Glass crown, hold me up Glass crown, make me brave I was built for the fall Now I kneel and I stay Glass crown, take my vow Glass crown, say my name If the world turns to dust I will still remain (Glass crown) (glass crown) [Bridge] Let the old sky crack Let the pillars bend I have seen the end And I walked back in [Final Chorus] Glass crown, hold me up Glass crown, make me brave I was built for the fall Now I kneel and I stay Glass crown, take my vow Glass crown, say my name If the world turns to dust I will still remain (Glass crown) (glass crown)
