Build It Up - Instrumental

I thought I wanted to be made of fairy tale endings
Where I'd never know what was real
Or only a dream

So I dreamt that I belonged to you
Because I knew you'd keep me safe from big girl things
Giant spiders
Natural disasters
And unnatural ones, too

I've never felt as safe as I felt in that cage with you
But when I started to wake up
I saw those gilded bars around us
And I couldn't remember how it went in the dream

Was I the bird?
Or was I the cage?
Was I myself?
Or one of my mothers?
Was I safe?
Or was I suffocating?
Because the bird is in a cage
And the cage is in a town

And the town is made of blinding white flour and beautiful lies
And maybe we can't help the things we dream of any more
Than we can help the stuff we're made of
Or, maybe we can
If we can finally see the lies
And the town and the cage we're inside of
We can see so many other things, too

We can see the door
A way out
And we can fly away
