Walls scream red
Come to bed
How many more times
Must I beg

You to try
To take care of me
I'm not your house
I'm not your tree

Walls scream red
But all you do is wipe
The color of my cheeks
I've been told I'm black and white

I'll hang around
With petals dull
I'll ask once more
Could you just ease the fall?

Count the many times I asked to get the sky
Never heard the words
I'll get it for you tonight

And not only tonight red walls I share it with
The sticker on my desk
The blanket on my chest

You promised change will come; you promised I'll feel safe
But here I'm indigo
And you decide to go

So how many more times must I get flatten out?
Not even physically
The downfall of me

I guess I just won't tell the horror that I've been
Protect you while I can
Protect us how I can

This is not rebirth
It's just what I've been told
To try to feel what's not inside
Create a kind of mold
It doesn't matter what I wrote
What you say: my ear's gold
I can't grow wings
I can't, it stings
It doesn't matter what I wrote
It doesn't matter what I wrote
It doesn't matter what I wrote
I can't grow wings
I can't it stings
It doesn't matter what I wrote
