Wilder Things

I've spent way too many years wondering what you'd say

Way too many hours wishing me away

Waiting for the day that I would finally (maybe) measure up

I've spent way too many nights dying in your walls Way too many daydreams keeping myself small

Holding out my hands to find the glitter in your dust

But Ima take a step back And not worry 'bout how they'll react The thoughts they turned into facts

Oh l'm seeing through the cracks

So I throw my hands up high and scream

"This world has seen much wilder things" I'm taking back the future they've defined

My joy is not a fantasy

I'm liberated from their strings

So love the beat they hate and dance in time

Guess l've fallen from the tree And I know what they say

Bragging from their knees

Saving all the strays

Praying for the day that I will finally cry for help Such a barricaded love

No wonder I feel shame

Infinitely nameless

Ways I am to blame

So l'd sew on my mask so I could smile as I melt

But Ima take a step back And not worry 'bout how they'll react

The thoughts they turned into facts

Oh l'm seeing through the cracks

And I throw my hands up high and scream

"This world has seen much wilder things" I'm taking back the future they've defined

My joy is not a fantasy

I'm liberated from their strings

So love the beat they hate and dance in time

All the years they took from me

Beauty vilified fully

Chains around my hands

They had me Damned Why was it mystery?

Glitter covered tragedies

Everlastingly mighty

Footprints in the sand

Solid as land

My own affirm my journey

Broken glass, I took the keys Conquering these open seas

All the rumors smashed

I'm free at last

Loving my victory

So I throw my hands up high and scream

"This world has seen much wilder things"

I'm taking back the future they defined

My joy is not a fantasy

I'm liberated from their strings

So love the beat they hate and dance in time

Love the beat they hate and dance in time
