Empty Crown, Endless Sky

[Verse 1] Gold towers, glass floors My name on the shuttle doors Stars stitched on my jacket Still I’m staring through the fabric Crowds chant like a storm Flashbulbs in every form Smile frozen on my face While my chest is an empty place [Chorus] I got everything I asked for Still I’m hollow in the throne On this empty crown, endless sky I can’t outrun being alone If this is the top of the world And it still feels wrong inside Then I burn my map Let the meaning die [Verse 2] Ten planets with my flag My portrait on a metal tag They call me the one who did it But my pulse doesn’t even feel it Champagne on a lunar reef Tastes flat on a perfect beach Every wish checked off the list Yet I’m drifting in the midst [Chorus] I got everything I asked for Still I’m hollow in the throne On this empty crown, endless sky I can’t outrun being alone If this is the top of the world And it still feels wrong inside Then I burn my map Let the meaning die [Bridge] So I step out the airlock (slow) Helmet in my hands, eyes closed Let the vacuum ask its question What survives when you lose direction? I breathe in my own fear Turn it into something clear If all of this is meaningless Then I choose what matters next (oh) [Chorus] I had everything I asked for Found a fault line in the gold Now this empty crown, endless sky Is a canvas I can hold If life on the top of the world Still feels wrong deep in my mind I’ll tear up the script And rewrite the why [Outro] One step Off the throne One breath On my own Xylophone stars, wild and bright As I walk into the dark And call it light
