Palace

You were simpler, you were lighter

When we thought like little kids

Like a weightless, hate-less animal

Beautifully oblivious before you were hid

Inside a stranger you grew into

As you learned to disconnect

Now he hangs your mirrors separately

So one can’t show you what the other reflects

When he heard I was on his tail

He emptied your account

And hid a part of you that’s so invaluable

The part of you unsellable at any amount

He left the tallest peak of your paradise

Buried in the bottom of a canyon in hell

But I swear I’ll find your light in the middle

Where there’s so little late at night

Down in the pit of the well

Then when heaven has a line around the corner

We shouldn’t have to wait around and hope to get in

If we can carpenter a home in our heart right now

And carve a palace from within

We won’t need to take a ton of pictures

It won’t be easy to believe

The day we wake inside a secret place

That everyone can see
