Rocket

I'm as tired as a flame under a rocket

I once knew you by a name nobody called you yet

I remain stuck in secrets that I've spoken

Cherished things wrapped in paper still come broken, broken

If it were to wear me out

Would it make you nervous how

All the colors change to gray?

You were never proud of me

But I gave it all I had

Guess it's time to take it back

Now I let the colors bleed

You were never proud of me

I still taste you on my mouth just as you promised

I'm a robin in a drought that found a running faucet

I remain with the people that I've chosen

Cherished things put in boxes I don't open, open

If it were to wear me out

Would it make you nervous how

All the colors change to gray?

You were never proud of me

But I gave it all I had

Guess it's time to take it back

Now I let the colors bleed

You were never proud of me

Isn't there a way

I could just stop the planet from spinning for one more day?

It's insane to try and replicate you

I put my best foot forward and wind up in the wrong place

I'm amazed with how I decorate you

I could, I could, I could hold a space for you

I can keep the pace for you

I hate living in routine, I hate the promise

I hate staring at a screen, I need a project

Honestly I hate all the people that I've chosen

Damaged things, I still care for with devotion
