Weren't we just playing with some planks
we threw them in the air
an unintended boat fell together
and then we couldn't do without
this home made windshield
and waterproof hideout
But everything can be a cage
every space can make us rage
every person is a hurdle someday
It looked bigger from the outside
it seemed brighter in the magazine
it sounded nicer in my head
lighter in bed
bigger from the outside
Wasn't I just playing with some words
I threw them in the air
an unintended song came together
and then I couldn't do without
this waterfall of sound
to spell it all out
But everything can be a cage
every space can make us rage
every joy will feel
like a duty someday
It felt better from the inside
it seemed deeper in my diary
it sounded nicer in my head
sweeter in bed
better from the inside
