I Had An Epiphany, So I Skipped Class And Wrote This Song

from "Eyes​.​" EP by The Response Ability

lyrics

Colossal home. I'm some colossal home burning down to the ground from matches meeting drapes and it seems everyone is watching, but no one's found the hydrant to put me out or put me down.

Enormous tent. I'm some enormous tent blowing away in the wind 'cause no one tried to stake me to the ground. And I go on and on forever, watching things pass involuntarily.

So no more shelter for you. No more shelter for you, or anyone, or anything. No more roofs to take the beatings we avoid, and no more doors to let you in. Oh, there's no place to go. I'm the house up on the hill and I'm the storm that's gonna blow me away, or so they say.

Extraordinary ship. I'm some extraordinary ship sinking from the iceberg crash; and overturning hourglass. And it's my fault, I should've been more careful. I should've been responsible. I shouldn't have taken the wheel at all.

So no more shelter for you. No more shelter for you, or anyone, or anything. No more roofs to take the beatings we avoid, and no more doors to let you in. Oh, there's no place to go. I'm the house up on the hill and I'm the storm that's gonna blow me away, or so they say.

Oh, it's suicide, it's do or die and I've done way too much doing for one night. I've been following the rules and I've been missing out on life; and I've lost my only chance to rehabilitate, alright? And I know I'm down on myself, but these songs are all I have; and if honesty is key, then it's these locks I'm out to grab until I find the way out

because I'm 18 with a dream. Oh, I'm 18 with a dream. I'm 18 with a dream, and I'm breaking at the seams. (x2)

So no more shelter for you. No more shelter for you, or anyone, or anything. No more roofs to take the beatings we avoid, and no more doors to let you in. Oh, there's no place to go. I'm the house up on the hill and I'm the storm that's gonna blow me away, or so they say.

Or so they say.
