lyrics

My walls were my canvas when I was fifteen

Now they’re just a memorial for the stupidity inbetween

My drawers were filled to the brim with photos and thumbtacks

Now they’re a tomb for recycled dreams and whiplash

But I won’t take my ceiling down, I won’t surrender to clouds

You sent the hounds after my crown, but guess whose laughing now.

We sunk deep into the mountains and you called for my approval

But the past and future is not able, you put your cards out on the table

And you screamed until the trees bowed to the rain.

You tried to impale my heart with a shard of a cartoon star

This is closest I will get to sanity, the closest I will ever get to Yes.
