How did we get here?
Inside the city gate
Locked in the highest tower
Building something they can't take
We made a great big flame
We sang the old old songs
Chanting down the pain
With open arms
I have no defense
That is a defense
I killed off all my pride
& I feel clean inside
But there's something in you that isn't you
All those colors make it hard to see
Deeper than the void
& Darker than the sea
They say everything is okay
They say everything is just fine
But we're locked away
In boxes of our own design
They pull on all our strings
& Say it's all good
But i can't look away
Like i should
They say everything is okay
They say everything is just fine
But they're building castle walls
For fools like us to climb
& When they try to break us
Make us fall in line
I will lay out my love
Like pearls
