"POOR lil ME" lyrics

"POOR lil ME"

Trophies in our eyes
Cement in our shoes
Smokescreen alibis
Wish I had the answers
A magic carpet ride for just you and me
'Til they pulled the rug from under our feet
It's a curtain call for gravity
Oh gravity

Innocence gone MIA
Now we suffocate half the day
We were kids out in the rain
Now we stay inside and hide away
Staring at ceilings and screens
Pretending we know how to dream
We're machines about to break
Longing for yesterday

You can hang your halo at the door
God called in sick again, the subject's sore
Ain't these reasons why we keep him around?
Stop; we've been shouting at the clouds for so long
We lock all the doors but leave the light on
If you're really there then come rescue me
Come rescue me

Innocence gone MIA
Now we suffocate half the day
We were kids out in the rain
Now we stay inside and hide away
Staring at ceilings and screens
Pretending we know how to dream
We're machines about to break
Longing for yesterday

Reaching for a reason "why"
I am done hurting, I am unworthy
Children run and play, til their everything
Is "running in place for a little change"
A magic carpet ride til they pulled the rug
Yea, they pulled the rug from right under our feet
Trophies in our eyes
Smokescreen alibies
I wish I had the answers
I just keep on coming undone

Innocence gone MIA
Now we suffocate half the day
We were kids out in the rain
Now we stay inside and hide away
Staring at ceilings and screens
Pretending we know how to dream
We're machines about to break
Longing for yesterday
