[Intro] [Verse 1] You built up the altar You told me to pray I followed your shadow To the edge of the day I drank from your cup Thought the water was pure But you only loved me When I was unsure [Verse 2] I started growing You started keeping score The room got so quiet When I walked through the door [Chorus] It's a cold heavy rain When the mask washes away You couldn't stomach the light I caught in the day You wanted a shadow A bird in a cage You can't stand the harvest So you tear out the page (Mmm) And you curse the rain [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] I outgrew the space That you cut out for me You called it betrayal I just wanted to see Now you're sitting in the dark Throwing stones at the sky Watching the bird That you taught how to fly [Bridge] I kept on walking You [Intro] Turns out the ceiling It was yours [Chorus] It's a cold heavy rain When the mask washes away You couldn't stomach the light I caught in the day You wanted a shadow A bird in a cage You can't stand the harvest Oh, you tear out the page [Outro] Keep the pedestal Keep the crown I'm miles ahead And I ain't looking down (Mmm) [End]
