lyrics

I am not defined by what destroys me
I cannot relate to that which I endulge
it's a bigger beast than i ever hoped to be
keeping all its slaves contained in its bulge

I am not the face of my victor
I am not a wall between me and the needing heart
I am not a platform to be stood on by a rich man

and if my light blub heart goes out forever
I can light a candle to keep my name
I was raised in the wettest cold so I'm sure
I'll be warm if I get older
I'll be warm when, not if, I get older

even in another life I'd power on
I wouldn't have to change anything
nobody learns anything in heaven
many would be itching again for a fun little fling

I'd like to hope we'll still celebrate my birthday
run away and find a deer bone fairy circle in the woods
then to fields where we will all scream
and fall on each other with great abandon

and if my light blub heart goes out forever
I can light a candle to keep my name
I was raised in the wettest cold so I'm sure
I'll be warm if I get older
I'll be warm when, not if, I get older

I am here to live through what I was given
and give life to whom I was put close to
I don't care if it makes you livid
that I'm smiling even in this bed

even if im crushed by the weight of 20 shields
I will still see Chelsea walking free
and in those languishing moments ill smile and think
that does it enough for me

and if our light blub hearts go out forever
We can light a candle to keep our name
I was raised in the wettest cold so I'm sure
I'll be warm if I get older
I'll be warm when, not if, I get older
