[Verse 1]

One, two, three, four

Why do we have to go to war?

Five, four, three

I feel peace when I'm free

Wandering around

There's lichen on my castle walls

Rotting by my waterfalls

So kiss my inner bouncy ball

[Pre-Chorus]

Ah, I wrote this story with red marker

And I'm in my element

Even though the skies are getting darker

[Chorus]

The apples on my black dirt are black

I'm rotting and I'm never coming back

The way you knew me then

Chickens in a pen

Danger, don't get starry in the eyes

Too blind to see this purple invisible paradise

I think we might be in

When the story won't begin, I just breathe in

[Verse 2]

I tried this thing the other night

When fear and sadness held me tight

I cleared my mind and tried to draw

The hills of my delight

Rolling around

I know that we're all scared right now

The pinch before the fertile plow

We'll plow the world anew somehow

[Pre-Chorus]

Ah, I wrote this story with red marker

And we're in our element

Even though the skies are getting darker

[Chorus]

The apples on my black dirt are black

I'm rotting and I'm never coming back

The way you knew me then

Chickens in a pen

Danger, don't get starry in the eyes

Too blind to see this purple invisible paradise

I think we might be in

When the story won't begin, I just breathe in

Danger, don't get starry in the eyes

Too blind to see this purple invisible paradise

I think we might be in

When the story won't begin, I just breathe in
