Four Pink Walls

lyrics:
—
i grew up memorising all the cracks in the wall
staring up at the ceiling, watching particles fall
see, i prayed everyday for a change to be made
and i'd wait to be saved, oh no
up at night, hiding under covers, found my escape
shut my eyes and let the bass buzz into my brain
see, i knew i was destined for bigger and better
but never said a thing

i assumed that there was only room
for my dreams in my dreams
so i'd sleep and repeat
til the moon went home
and i didn't know
where it'd take me
but made me
so crazy in love with it

then the universe aligned
with what i had in mind
who knew there was a life
behind those four pink walls?

now i wake up to a different bedroom everyday
living up in the clouds thinking of how it all changed
used to sit and watch paint dry
amazed by the limelight
i can't ever be afraid

all of the days that i wasted gazing outside the window
inpatient frustrations let out into my pillow
lied awake at night while my head wandered and i wondered why
things were different
everything shifted overnight

went from "when boredom strikes" to "miss star on the rise"
it was all in an instant then
but those four pink walls
now i kinda miss them there

those four pink walls.
