Built a Prison - Mesita

he could be your volunteer

holding to your hand

he could be your halo

he could be your hero king

open up the gates

bring you on his journey

but you built a prison

and you threw yourself in it

don’t you think you should have

let yourself go by now

he could be your special friend

out for sunday brunch

look cute in matching outfits

he could be your therapy

your bro and workout buddy

introduce him to your family

but you built a prison

and you threw yourself in it

don’t you think you should have

let yourself go by now

open your heart to the world

lift your roots from the soil

quit living like whoever was here before

and careen down the line til you’re off the rails

and never be heard from again

open your heart to the world

why live as just another nice couple next door

we could go take a boat and sail away

and never be heard from again
