as i walk through your hallways naked
with signs taped all across my back
you promised that i would feel equal
with rings of gold wrapped around my neck
my attentions now given to these characters
who remind me of all that i lack
i can't lay in your blanket of protection
i've grown i feel old and i know
we begin right here (with you)
we being right here
always in the same place with you
as i walk through your streets of desolation
they all call me out by name
i met you at the chapel congregation
you promised we'd always be the same
