oh oh oh sweet girl,
mind your head & keep your knees about you.
this crashing ceiling will crush you if you don't
learn to stand out from underneath it's falling frame.
your heart is right & you know your head as well
but the voice from the speakers in the sky
is stealing the soul you're still figuring out.
run not to the darkness but find the bits of light
bouncing in the mirror.
see your face & say your name, sweet child.
let not the world you're submersed in say it for you.

we build our own chariots & sink our own ships
raise our own flags & bust our own lips.
