Palace

You were simpler You were lighter when we thought like little kids Like a weightless, hate-less animal Beautifully oblivious before you were hid inside a stranger you grew into As you learned to disconnect Now he hangs your mirrors separately So one can't show you what the other reflects When he heard I was on his tail, he emptied your account and hid a part of you that's so invaluable He left the tallest peak of your paradise Buried in the bottom of a canyon in hell But I swear I'll find your light in the middle Where there's so little late at night, down in the pit of the well Then when heaven has a line around the corner We shouldn't have to wait around and hope to get in If we can carpenter a home in our heart right now And carve a palace from within We won't need to take a ton of pictures It won't be easy to believe The day we wake inside a secret place that everyone can see
