The Attic's Debt

[Intro]
[Verse]
Ink stains on the floor
Locked behind your attic door
My sketchbooks turning gray
While you throw my life away
Mold is eating every line
Everything you said was mine
You took the light and left the dust
Turned my gold into your rust
[Pre-Chorus]
Cello swells like a heavy heart
Watch it all just fall apart
You’re walking up the marble stairs
Ignorant to all my prayers
[Chorus]
THAT TROPHY IS A LIE
WATCH MY PATIENCE DIE
YOU STOLE BLOOD FROM MY PEN
DON’T YOU EVER SPEAK AGAIN
GIVE IT BACK
GIVE IT ALL BACK
SCREAM UNTIL THE GLASS CRACKS
[Post-Chorus]
Give it back
Yeah, you owe me that
[Verse]
You look so polished on that screen
The biggest fraud I’ve ever seen
Adjusting that expensive tie
Living out a stolen lie
Did you think I’d stay small?
Waiting for your curtain call?
I’m standing in the fourth row now
Ready to break your plastic vow
[Pre-Chorus]
The bass is thumping in my teeth
I can feel the fire underneath
You’re reaching for that golden man
But I’m ruining your master plan
[Chorus]
THAT TROPHY IS A LIE
WATCH MY PATIENCE DIE
YOU STOLE BLOOD FROM MY PEN
DON’T YOU EVER SPEAK AGAIN
GIVE IT BACK
GIVE IT ALL BACK
SCREAM UNTIL THE GLASS CRACKS
[Bridge]
You clear your throat to start the speech
But I am finally out of reach
I’m walking down the center aisle
To kill that fake and practiced smile
“Thank you” stays inside your throat
As I burn your designer coat
With the truth of what you did
I’m no longer just a kid
[Breakdown]
(Fuzzed out guitar feedback)
(Heavy breathing)
NOW!
[Chorus]
THAT TROPHY IS A LIE
WATCH MY PATIENCE DIE
YOU STOLE BLOOD FROM MY PEN
DON’T YOU EVER SPEAK AGAIN
GIVE IT BACK
GIVE IT ALL BACK
SCREAM UNTIL THE GLASS CRACKS
[Post-Chorus]
I’m taking it back
Everything you took
Every single page
From my fucking book
[Outro]
