Liner Notes

not my favorite thing i’ve written but it’s done! something something being mentally ill and constantly being surrounded by people who are just as bad as you are.
the horrors of being both self destructive and self aware

Lyrics

Never trust a castle
It steals all of you that you have never known
Hold tight onto your heart
It’s true, you’ll reap what you have sown
But the kingdom tax is getting steeper

You seek comfort in a crumbling throne
Cause crumbling’s all you’ve ever known

Maybe you’ll get better, maybe in a year or two
Standing on the ledge, only half as scared
But you’re running back to hell, are you?
The same broken faces, the same echoing cries
Of people just as stuck as you

You feel safer in a broken home
Cause breaking’s all you’ve ever known

Stand tall, hold your ground and shout
“I am loyal, it will swallow me whole!”
At least you know what you are about
Never alone, that is your only goal

You take comfort in a crushing bone
Cause being crushed is all you’ve ever known

You are loved, you are afraid
You are many things, one and the same
Hold on tightly to your love
That is all you are left with at the end of the day

This show is not off-book, it’s an improve
And every other line comes out all wrong
But you are loved, so loved
Tell them that you know, saying

I will not leave
I will stay behind
Till every last one can stand on two feet
I will not leave
I will stay behind
Hold the tired till they can finally sleep
I will plant my feet
I will always try
To save anyone
