Lyrics
[Intro] They say pride comes before the fall. HA HA HA! But what if you never fall? What if you just keep... keep... RISING! [Verse 1] I walk into the room and the oxygen leaves They gasp at the tricks that I have up my sleeves But it isn't a trick, and it isn't a game It’s simply the weight of my GLORIOUS name! They speak of 'boasting' like it’s something to hide (Ha!) But why drive a wagon when you are the joyride?! [Chorus] I am the sun, I am the light I am the only one who's getting it right! It isn’t "Hubris" if you're the King I am the center of everything! Look at the mirror, oh, what do I see? The only person worthy of me! [Verse 2] You talk about "connection" and "being bearable" Please, that sounds weak and honestly terrible! I don't need your pity, I don't need your grace I just need the spotlight right on my face! I’m not blowing smoke, I’m not wearing a mask I’m just the king in the glass! [Chorus] I am the sun (Oh!), I am the light. (Yeah!) I am the only one who's getting it right! (Ha!) It isn’t "Hubris" if you're the King (Woo!) I am the center of everything! (Hey!) Look at the mirror, oh, what do I see? The only person worthy of me! (Ha ha ha ha ha!) [Verse 3] Higher and higher, the air is so thin Who cares if I’m lonely as long as I win?! Build up the walls! Make them shiny and tall! I’m safe in here, looking down on you all! I’m perfect! I’m bulletproof! I am the best! Put me to the trial, I'll pass any test! [Bridge] But wait... it’s so quiet up here on the peak. Now I'm calling your name... but I can’t hear you speak. It felt great to have this armor, like a shield made of gold But it’s just a cold cage, I'm getting lonely and old. I pushed you away to prove I was strong But being above you meant I didn't belong. It wasn't that I was great, or better than you... I just feared I was nothing, but that's also not true. [Chorus] I’m not the sun (hey!), I’m not the light (hey!) I was so scared I wasn't getting it right. (Ha ha ha!) It was just Hubris, I’m not a King Connection is the center of everything. Look in the mirror, and what do I see? Just a man who wants to be seen. [Outro] Not the king in the glass. Just a man. Not the king in the glass. Just a man. Not the king in the glass. Can we start over?
