They told me I was dreaming way too loud
Now I'm the one looking down from the cloud
I remember the dirt and the taste of the dust
The only ones I ever learned to trust
I built the ladder while they watched me fail
I stayed the course through the fire and the hail
Now I'm walking on marble I'm drinking the wine
Everything you see is officially mine
The rhythm is heavy the rhythm is deep
Promises that I was able to keep
You see the shine but you don't see the scar
Exactly the person that I know you are
There's blood on the marble and ice in the glass
Watching the ghosts of the struggle all pass
I'm the king of the mountain I built on my own
Built on my own
You want a piece of the life that I lead
But you weren't there when I started to bleed
I'm sitting forever on this heavy throne
Sitting alone
You're looking for mercy in a heart made of stone
But I'm the strongest when I'm standing alone
The struggle was beautiful the success is a debt
The only thing left is a lingering regret
I'm dancing on the edges of the world we broke
Disappearing in a cloud of expensive smoke
No more tears
No more pain
I'm the one
Who owns the rain
The storm is mine
There's blood on the marble and ice in the glass
Watching the ghosts of the struggle all pass
I'm the king of the mountain I built on my own
Built on my own
You want a piece of the life that I lead
But you weren't there when I started to bleed
I'm sitting forever on this heavy throne
Sitting alone
Don't slip
