《Stained Glass Ceilings》歌词

[00:00:00] Stained Glass Ceilings (彩绘玻璃天花板) - The Wonder Years

[00:00:04] Like a burning monk

[00:00:07] You're my light flare out in the dark

[00:00:11] You're my constant call to arms

[00:00:15] Took the blindfold off

[00:00:17] They'd left chalk outlines where the future was

[00:00:22] It's a goddamn war of attrition

[00:00:26] It's a death by a thousand cuts

[00:00:30] And if these motherf**kers made it to heaven

[00:00:33] They'd burn the bridge when they got across

[00:00:36] They're gathering anchors

[00:00:37] They're gathering rope

[00:00:40] You push into heaven all alone

[00:00:44] They're grabbing your ankles

[00:00:45] They won't let you go

[00:00:47] The ebb and the distant flow

[00:00:51] They're cutting your wings off

[00:00:54] Built you ceilings out of stained glass

[00:01:00] Well you cut

[00:01:02] Like gravel in my skinned knee

[00:01:06] The wound will close eventually

[00:01:10] You'll stay as a reminder of how f**ked this world can be

[00:01:17] Held your funeral on a Tuesday

[00:01:21] Holy waters November cold

[00:01:25] The kid who pulled the trigger

[00:01:28] Knew too well couldn't promise him hope

[00:01:31] All these bastards are gathering rope

[00:01:34] You push into heaven all alone

[00:01:38] They're grabbing your ankles

[00:01:40] They won't let you go

[00:01:42] The ebb and the distant flow

[00:01:46] They're cutting your wings off

[00:01:48] Built your ceilings out of stained glass

[00:01:53] They were cutting your wings off

[00:01:55] I was staring at my idle hands

[00:02:00] Maybe I could've done something

[00:02:08] Maybe I could've made a difference

[00:02:45] John Wayne with a God complex

[00:02:49] Tells me to buy a gun

[00:02:51] Like shooting a teenage kid is gonna solve any problems

[00:02:55] Like it's an arms race

[00:02:57] Like death don't mean nothing

[00:03:01] To know the heavy price of living poor

[00:03:05] Walled in by red lines backed into a corner

[00:03:08] Not knowing growing up what it's like to belong here in America

[00:03:15] If everyone's built the same then how come building's

[00:03:19] So f**king hard for you

[00:03:22] It's something we're all born into

[00:03:30] Enough is enough too gray

[00:03:32] It's black or white and sometimes black and blue

[00:03:38] It's something we're all born into whoa-oh

[00:03:47] Now I know what's in a name

[00:03:49] Not just my father

[00:03:50] Three-fifths a man makes half of me

[00:03:53] Why should I bother

[00:03:54] Merchants of misery stacking the deck

[00:03:58] F**k your John Waynes

[00:04:00] F**k your God complex

[00:04:01] I have everything in front of me

[00:04:04] But there is far enough

[00:04:06] To touch those fever dreams

[00:04:08] They call America

[00:04:10] I am the ghetto's chosen one

[00:04:13] The privileged bastard son

[00:04:16] They're gathering anchors

[00:04:18] They're gathering rope

[00:04:20] You push into heaven all alone

[00:04:24] They're gathering anchors

[00:04:25] They're gathering rope

[00:04:28] You push into heaven all alone

[00:04:31] No all alone
