green


from space the world is blue

but right here, i swear it’s so green

i’m not sure what’s happening right now

out my window it’s like nothing i’ve ever seen

 

but my childhood has come & gone by
 

if i told you i cry myself to sleep

i’d be lying; i can’t move my aching bones

i’m too terrified of what’s at stake

this pile of sticks is not my home

by my childhood has come & gone by

 

the world blames me for what i’ve done to you

and all i ever hear is lie after lie

you don’t trust me because my face lacks lines of age

but my childhood has come & gone by

 

but my childhood has come & gone by

 

i just want to be green again

just be green again

i want to live in my mind

and just be green again

i just want to be loved again

oh fall or fly again

i want to be fragile

and just be green again

 

but my childhood has come & gone

but my childhood has come & gone

come & gone

come & gone

come & gone
