lyrics

It’s so hard to breathe, when I’m under the sheets
And all your weight is on me
But I can’t really feel it, ‘cause you’re not really here
And you haven’t been

Let’s look to the ceilings, with our nooses tied high
Our mothers and fathers always said we could fly, so we will

The colors and shades are spilled all across your skin
The blacks and blues are all signed by him

Let’s look to the ceilings, with our nooses tied high
Our mothers and fathers always said we could fly, so we will

If you are the painting, I’ll be the mantel
I’ll hold you off your feet
When you just can’t handle, the things he does

Let’s look to the ceilings, with our nooses tied high
Our mothers and fathers always said we could fly, so we will
Let’s look to the ceilings, with our nooses tied high
Our mothers and fathers always said we could fly, so we will
