{Lyrics}
Black and white skin; black and white eyes for the black and white world in the stagnant disguise of a blanket broken in by the damp and dirty criminal that lives in the ceiling.
Lived every moment like a mirror painted years ago.
Only came to life when those who would bury you stared into blue, saw themselves through the chips and cracks.
If only I knew when you'd run away and never come back.
(If I could tear the sun apart and make the planet follow through,
I'd pick up every trail of puzzle pieces leading back to you.)
Bring all your friends I'm sure you've made along the way,
Never was too far away from hearing a stranger's name
Whistled in your ear,
When all you could hear was the sun.
And is this my fault?
As much as it is,
The baker's for burning the bread.
Just lost track of time,
I'll never know where it went...
...But I know who with.
(If I could tear the sun apart and make the planet follow through,
I'd pick up every trail of puzzle pieces leading back to you,
And every time I close my eyes I see your cloudy flag again,
I'd burn that mother fucker down if I had known what it had meant.)

TAKE ME AWAY FROM THIS PLACE,
I ALWAYS FEEL MORE AT HOME WHEN I AM ALONE, AWAY FROM THE EYES THAT JUDGE ME, THAT QUESTION ME, AND CRUCIFY ME.
DROWN ME IN YOUR BELIEFS BEFORE I CAN MAKE MY OWN, SHAPE ME INTO WHO YOU WANT ME TO BE, FORCE YOUR IDEAS ON ME.
YOUR YELLING ALWAYS DROVE ME AWAY, NOW I KNOW HOW TO YELL BACK.
But I choose to talk to you and turn my back because I know what your yelling did to me.
Maybe I can grow up and forget your close minded ways.
I am not a martyr
I am not a prophet
But neither are you.
