Ruler of the Ice (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Concrete pillars, ice in the street

City breathing through my heels on the beat

Sirens dim down where my shadow lands

Every block got a name I had to hand

Palm of my fist against the window glass

Counting the stories as they pass by fast

Four walls built heavy but my chest is wide

I keep the whole city locked inside

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what it means when every door swings open

Is this the quiet or the battle I'm in again?

Feel the weight of the crown before I let go

Something's breaking underneath, nobody knows

Chorus

This is my throne made out of broken glass

I'm king of the ice where the cold turns to gas

Every window that shatters is a name I held on tight

Ruler of the snowdrifts, ruler of the night

This is my throne made out of broken glass

I won't let go till the whole block looks back

Verse 2

Taxi doors swinging, chrome catching light

Sirens fade into static and into white

Old man on the stoop nodding to my stride

Kid in the alleyway learning how to glide

Chain link fence hums like it remembers me

Every streetlamp's a torch I lit so free

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what it means when every door swings open

Is this the quiet or the battle I'm in again?

Feel the weight of the crown before I let go

Something's breaking underneath, nobody knows

Chorus

This is my throne made out of broken glass

I'm king of the ice where the cold turns to gas

Every window that shatters is a name I held on tight

Ruler of the snowdrifts, ruler of the night

This is my throne made out of broken glass

I won't let go till the whole block looks back

Bridge

Maybe it's not gold, maybe it's just frost

Maybe the city's mine for as long as it lasts

I'm not a king, I'm the current that freezes slow

I don't break what I rule — I make sure it knows

Chorus

This is my throne made out of broken glass

I'm king of the ice where the cold turns to gas

Every window that shatters is a name I held on tight

Ruler of the snowdrifts, ruler of the night

This is my throne made out of broken glass

I won't let go till the whole block looks back
