Chest to the Sky

Verse

Concrete sky line, my fist on the glass

Twenty stories up but I won't fall back

Black suit, silver name tag, city lights blur

Every deal is mine when I step through

Six A.M., the room still shakes from me

Cold coffee, hot profit, that's the equation

I built this view off nothing but a dream

Now I'm standing where they used to scream

Pre-Chorus

You think gold runs out just 'cause it shines so bright

Watch it double back when you're shining too light

Every king gets dethroned, every throne gets claimed

I'll sell the whole castle before I trade this name

Chorus

Chest to the sky, chest to the sky

Every hand that hits me just lifts me higher still

I don't fall down 'cause I built it out of will

Chest to the sky, chest to the sky

Verse 2

Ten years in and the skyline folds my name

Boardroom silence that turns into a flame

I trade the suits for gold chains now, same fire

Just louder now — every room, every choir

I used to be the one who couldn't get in

Now I'm slamming doors before the knock begins

Nobody asks me how I built this wall of glass

They just want a piece so they can feel like that at all

Pre-Chorus

You think gold runs out just 'cause it shines so bright

Watch it double back when you're shining too light

Every king gets dethroned, every throne gets claimed

I'll sell the whole castle before I trade this name

Chorus

Chest to the sky, chest to the sky

Every hand that hits me just lifts me higher still

I don't fall down 'cause I built it out of will

Chest to the sky, chest to the sky

Bridge

They say ambition eats your soul

I say it's a hunger that makes you whole

Fortune tastes like freedom every time

Every dollar's a witness to mine

So let them whisper, let them raise their voices up high

I'll just stand here breathing all this glory and sigh

Chorus

Chest to the sky, chest to the sky

Every hand that hits me just lifts me higher still

I don't fall down 'cause I built it out of will

Chest to the sky, chest to the sky
