Glass towers

we’re dancing on the marble floor while the streets outside want something more champagne hands and a frozen smile we measure time in the latest style paper hearts and silver screens selling hope in faded dreams every coin’s a loaded word every truth is overheard in the glass towers we’re buying hours we can’t afford in the glass towers we’re trading power for the applause in the glass towers we close our eyes to open doors in the glass towers we forget what the silence costs the suits are cut from another age but the script is still the same old page neon rules in a plastic land where the touch of gold is the only plan paper hearts and silver screens selling hope in faded dreams every coin’s a loaded word every truth is overheard in the glass towers we’re buying hours we can’t afford in the glass towers we’re trading power for the applause in the glass towers we close our eyes to open doors in the glass towers we forget what the silence costs you can paint the walls in light you can sell the night as day but the shadow never fades it just finds another stage glass towers, standing high glass towers, built on lies glass towers, in the sky glass towers watch them fall in your eyes
