lyrics

Heroes are cracking
Gods deteriorate
Promises become helium
And words deflate
And it made my jaw drop to the floor
When I was 21
But I’m no longer on the run
I’m no longer on the run
The thread of words she used
To build herself up came undone.

Idols are shrinking
Icons decompose
Her stories seem much longer now
Than when she told ‘em years ago
And it made my jaw drop to the floor
When I was 21
After years of feeling chased
After years of feeling chased
I’m trying to sort my demons
And I’m carving out my space.

A tower is falling
A pedestal cracks in two
Awkward when roles switch
Years and miles out of view
Sure it made my jaw drop to the floor
When I was 21
Always feeling illegitimate
Always feeling illegitimate
Finding worth a fall to earth
Re-sugar and react
Taking worship back.
