outgrown
Caught yourself in a wave you couldn’t seem to float
Found yourself a lighthouse to take cover,
Now I hear you call it home
Find myself to be like a deer
Afraid of your headlights
Stop acting like you're the one afraid.
That’s when the trees started turning
Your blue didn’t match the grey in my heart
All of the green stripped from the surface of my skin
Covered in thorns while your rosy lips are covered in wine
That’s when I knew this wasn’t working
Our violet haze became an undertone
Felt like my time spent was worthless
trying to put a worth on something
so worthless.
I was navigating
lost myself in your four walls
never again.
I will no longer remain in the shackles
you hold me in,
I fear no one, but I respect everyone.
I saw you with tainted glass
but now it's transparent
and oh what an ugly sight.
I've built walls so high
like an ivory tower
I've outgrown you.
