Shadow On My Ceiling

from Sorry We're Closed [EP] by Seán McKenna

	/

lyrics

You moved up from Arizona or somewhere just as dry
You looked higher than the sky and believed you still knew why
It's all too bad I met you in Rhode Island
to the rising sun

You've got black hair so it shows, and it's all pulled back in braids
It ain't got nothing to say, it just slays your shoulder blades
It's all too much I still look for your former
in the rising sun

Why can't I, I can't be the one to see
who I am, who am I supposed to be?

I've got your shadow on my ceiling, you're still held up with tacks
I can't mask the things I'm saying and you don't care to ask
I don't know if I can fall out of this
Is the damage done?

I'm still tip toeing around you and you tip toe around me
I can't be just who I want to because living just ain't free
As of now I just can't shake this armor
Is the damage done?

Don't you know, you don't know just where you went
Who you are, who are you to be content with this damaged one?

I am human, I am durable
I am hopeless, hear me roar
Hear me roar
I am hopeless, hear me roar
