[Intro] [Verse 1] You built a pedestal Told me to climb Said there was plenty of water Plenty of time I took your map as gospel Drank from your cup Never noticed you were smiling Only when I was looking up I started walking You started keeping score The room got smaller when I walked through the door [Chorus] It's a dry heat When the mask burns away You couldn't stomach the shadow I cast in the day You wanted a pupil A dog on a chain You can't stand the harvest So you curse the rain Yeah, you curse the rain [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] I outgrew the sandbox I broke the fence You called it arrogance I call it common sense Now you're spitting venom From a folding chair Choking on the dust that I left in the air I kept on walking You started locking doors Turns out the ceiling I hit was yours [Chorus] It's a dry heat When the mask burns away You couldn't stomach the shadow I cast in the day You wanted a pupil A dog on a chain You can't stand the harvest So you curse the rain (Hey!) (Mmm-hmm) [Outro] Keep the pedestal Keep the crown I'm miles ahead And I ain't looking down [End]
