Come closer with your hearts open but fists closed
Raise your palms, signals to the heavens
We entertained the masses once but they never knew it was only puppets and planned out speeches
Memories are buried in hundred acres of woods so you may forget
The only this you left behind was the shovel
Girls hide out in bathroom stalls halved at waist while boys seek shelter under bleachers
Who would’ve guessed it all those years ago?
Children are the face of innocence until monsters hiding under coats sit down at the table and call themselves family
We cake on layers until we can call ourselves “human” but me, I’m something else
I have the ripped map to life, a leaky bottle of Holy Water, and two broken feet stronger than steam engines
It’s much more than you have with your hospital homes and disinfected lives too afraid to breathe
Hold your breath, my screams of joy will fill the air as I jump
Too bad I know all the secrets you hid between your ribs
Raise your palms, signals to the heavens
We entertained the masses once but they never knew it was only puppets and planned out speeches
Memories are buried in hundred acres of woods so you may forget
The only this you left behind was the shovel
Girls hide out in bathroom stalls halved at waist while boys seek shelter under bleachers
Who would’ve guessed it all those years ago?
Children are the face of innocence until monsters hiding under coats sit down at the table and call themselves family
We cake on layers until we can call ourselves “human” but me, I’m something else
I have the ripped map to life, a leaky bottle of Holy Water, and two broken feet stronger than steam engines
It’s much more than you have with your hospital homes and disinfected lives too afraid to breathe
Hold your breath, my screams of joy will fill the air as I jump
Too bad I know all the secrets you hid between your ribs
