I thought I wanted everything you promised
I thought I wanted to be made of the promises you made.
That tastes like ivory
Ones that tasted like ivory.
Like a strawberry
Like strawberry.
Even a promise like chocolate
And even like chocolate.
I thought what I wanted was the ending of all fairy tales
I thought I wanted to be made of fairy tale endings.
I can't tell what is real in it
Where I'd never know what was real
What is a dream again
or only a dream.
So i imagine i belong to you
So I dreamt that I belonged to you
Because I know you will protect me before terrible growth
Because I knew you'd keep me safe from big girl things.
Big spider
Giant spiders...
Natural disaster
natural disasters,
Man-made disaster
and unnatural ones too.
I've never felt so safe in this cage with you
I've never felt as safe as I felt in that cage with you.
But when i start to wake up
But when I started to wake up...
I see the gilded railings around
I saw those gilded bars around us.
I can't remember what it was like in my dream
And I couldn't remember how it went in the dream.
Am i that bird
Was I the bird?
Still that cage
Or was I the cage?
Am i me
Was I myself?
Still one of my mom
Or one of my mothers?
Am i safe
Was I safe?
I'm still suffocating
Or was I suffocating?
Because the bird is in the cage
Because the bird is in a cage.
The cage is in the town
And the cage is in a town.
The town is made of dazzling white powder and beautiful lies
And the town is made of blinding white flour and beautiful lies.
Maybe we can't control our own dreams
And maybe we can't help the things we dream of
It’s like we can’t control what we are like
any more than we can help the stuff we're made of,
Or maybe we can
or maybe we can.
As long as we can face those lies and towns
If we can finally see the lies and the town
And the cages that trap us
and the cage we're inside of,
We can see a lot of other things
we can see so many other things, too.
We can see that door
We can see the door.
The way out
A way out.
We can fly higher and farther
And we can fly away.
