Palace Lyrics

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
(the part of you unsellable at any amount).
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.
