The Gold We Burn（版本 2）

Verse

I built a city out of paper gold

Sold my shadow for a promise I was told

The tower climbed as high as any king

Every floor the debt that I could bring

Pre-Chorus

So I keep it climbing — no one asks why

The wind pulls strong but I don't ask why

Because the sky's already broken glass

I just follow where the smoke and ash pass

Chorus

We burn what we built to get above the noise

Every fire climbs higher than the cost of choice

The gold that melts is the gold we chose

So let it fall, let it roar — this is our voice

Verse 2

I traded love for a boardroom seat

Watched my name dissolve in every street

The mirror's cracked but I still agree to pay

For a view of nothing from a hundred feet away

Pre-Chorus

So I keep it climbing — no one asks why

The wind pulls strong but I don't ask why

Because the sky's already broken glass

I just follow where the smoke and ash pass

Chorus

We burn what we built to get above the noise

Every fire climbs higher than the cost of choice

The gold that melts is the gold we chose

So let it fall, let it roar — this is our voice

Bridge

One more level, one last name

Nothing left that burns but still I claim

I am the ember when the tower's gone

I carry fire where nothing's grown

Outro

Burn slow or burn fast — we made the choice

No one climbs above a falling house
