"Above the Skyline"

Verse 1

Steel and glass above the haze

I count the windows in a daze

Forty floors of borrowed light

Swaying slow through passing night

Lobby marble cold as ice

Elevator hums so nice

Every button takes me higher

Flicker of a neon spire

Pre-Chorus

Up and up the cables pull

Every floor a pocket full

Of the brightness we can't hold

Stories never bought or sold

Chorus

Skyscrapers in the clouds

We build them up so proud

Skyscrapers in the clouds

We live above the crowds

Post-Chorus

Rise up rise up

Rise up rise up

Verse 2

Concrete roots down in the ground

Glass cathedral all around

Angles cutting afternoon

Ladders climbing past the moon

Overpass and under sky

I stand taller than the why

Every beam a quiet vow

Scaffolding against the now

Pre-Chorus

Up and up the cables pull

Every floor a pocket full

Of the brightness we can't hold

Stories never bought or sold

Chorus

Skyscrapers in the clouds

We build them up so proud

Skyscrapers in the clouds

We live above the crowds

Post-Chorus

Rise up rise up

Rise up rise up

Bridge

Crane against the turning sky

Window washers passing by

Glinting glass and metal veins

Thunder rolling through the lanes

Chorus

Skyscrapers in the clouds

We build them up so proud

Skyscrapers in the clouds

We live above the crowds

Post-Chorus

Rise up rise up

Rise up rise up
