lyrics

She is a lighter
Who taught me how to set fires
But not to myself
That was a side effect of the pills
She lives with her head in the clouds
So let's hope that she wakes up
With her dreams lighter than air
That's the only way she'll stay here

It'll all end up okay
Say it back to me

She made a hotel out of me
Always vacancy, no one's turned away
She took my land, she took my deed
And taking due process is far too costly
She gathered mass in my head
To pray to a god I don't even believe in
She brought in stained glass
To help shine the light with different refractions

It'll all end up okay
Say it back to me

She was a glacier and I was a plain
I am a valley and she is a sea
She helped to shape me
Her words made caves
And now she runs through me
But only as a stream

She made an example out of me
Of how others could be if they trusted too easily
She brought me down to my knees
In a cathedral she made me build out of my own disease
She says one word and then she's gone
Like a genie that only grants wishes that come out wrong
She took my bruised and bloody knuckles
She covered them with salt and said "the pain will keep the demons out"

It'll all end up okay
Say it back to me

She was a glacier and I was a plain
I am a valley and she is a sea
She helped to shape me
Her words made caves
And now she runs through me
But only as a stream

She made a scratch on my guitar
It added authenticity but took away from the tarnish
