Knickknack Rebellion

[Intro]
[Verse]
Tea stains on the ledge
Blue birds on the edge
Ceramic wings are cracked
I keep the pieces stacked
Traffic hums a low tune
Beneath a paper moon
I am building my shelf
Just to please myself
[Chorus]
It doesn’t have to work
In shadows where I lurk
This little mess is mine
Feeling perfectly fine
Golden light on the rust
Shaking off city dust
I will always stay
In my own sweet way
[Verse]
Toy keys go ding
Hear the copper ring
I bought a velvet box
Without any locks
Collecting every glass bead
More than I could need
The radio is humming
Better days are coming
[Hook]
Gently I will stay
In my own sweet way
Gently I will stay
Dreaming through the day
[Chorus]
It doesn’t have to work
In shadows where I lurk
This little mess is mine
Feeling perfectly fine
Golden light on the rust
Shaking off city dust
I will always stay
In my own sweet way
[Bridge]
They say it is all junk
In a thrift store funk
But the colors are bright
In the fading light
I am staying right here
Far away from the fear
I am small but I am tall
Behind this brick wall
[Breakdown]
Wind chimes in the breeze
Dancing through the trees
No one needs to see
What this means to me
[Chorus]
It doesn’t have to work
In shadows where I lurk
This little mess is mine
Feeling perfectly fine
Golden light on the rust
Shaking off city dust
I will always stay
In my own sweet way
[Outro]
