Towers of Glass

In your counting house of glass Watching numbers rise and fall While the world burns down below Do you feel anything at all? From your pristine perch up high Digital empire in the sky Counting coins while others bleed Is this all you'll ever need? Your towers reach to heaven But your soul can't touch the ground Your towers reach to heaven While homes are burning down (Are burning down, are burning down) Tweet by tweet you build your walls Higher than before But can't you hear the children call? What are you fighting for? Your towers reach to heaven But your soul can't touch the ground Your towers reach to heaven While homes are burning down (Are burning down, are burning down) You ask what they're dying for? Let me tell you what they're living for: Their mothers' gardens Their children's laughter Their morning coffee Their evening prayers Their neighbor's kindness Their teacher's wisdom Their farmer's harvest Their artist's colors Their right to speak Their power to choose Dollar signs behind your eyes Can't see the truth through all your lies Building empires made of code While real people lose their homes Posting memes from golden thrones Like it's all some cosmic joke But freedom's price is paid in blood While you count likes above the flood I've seen courage in their eyes As they stand against the night Not for profit, not for fame But for everything that's right Your towers reach to heaven But your soul can't touch the ground Your towers reach to heaven While truth comes crashing down (Truth comes crashing, truth comes crashing down) In your counting house of glass Watch it shatter, watch it fall When the history books are written Will you have stood tall at all?
