[Verse 1] The marble floors light up when I arrive I keep the dying dreams of this town alive My name in golden letters, ink still wet A perfect price for what you haven’t thanked me yet You call it kindness, I call it a stake I offer hope for every bow that you must make [Chorus] Oh, I am the sun behind your clouds I turn on halos and I stage your crowds I buy your salvation, I frame the light I keep your world turning for the night And you’ll be grateful, polished, aligned There’s beauty in the chains you’re glad to find [Verse 2] The cameras love the way I raise the glass I watch the pleading rows of faces pass I see the hunger, I see the debt I fund the futures that won’t dare betray me yet Step into my gala, look at the view Every salvation here runs back to me through you [Bridge] (Orchestral swell, heavy piano staccato) Polished silver, perfect life I’ve drafted every script that shapes your strife Don’t turn away, don’t break the pose I am the only saint your story chose [Chorus] Oh, I am the sun behind your clouds I turn on halos and I stage your crowds I buy your salvation, I frame the light I keep your world turning for the night And you’ll be grateful, polished, aligned There’s beauty in the chains you’re glad to find [Outro] I am the good guy. I am the only way. Pray for the lens. Everything is perfectly arranged.
