Floor To Canopy

Princess in a rainforest

Don't know what to say for this

My mom gave birth between

Two lightning strikes on the night of a rainstorm

My mom would always say that no matter how far you stray, your mind is the same distance from your heart

You can't tell me I'm not happy

This is what happy looks like

Look at my apartment

This is what happy looks like

Caw

Caw caw

Up all night, in my biome, habitat

Encroaching from all sides, feeling trapped

Soon I'll be endangered, I won't last

Natural light replaced with flash

Drop from the canopy with a thrash

I'm defined by what I do not have

My apartment is polluted to the max

I'm apart of the pollutants, that's a fact

Put it all in one big pile, pretend I'm a different man

Holding on tight is my nature, that exactly holds me back

Ambiguity's discouraged, it's difficult to adapt

I almost got expelled when I was acting out in class

To this day I don't expect behaviours to have an impact

Scarcity's contrived, the only thing we truly lack

Is a comfortable habitat where we can confidently relax

Up all night, in my biome, habitat

Encroaching from all sides, feeling trapped

Soon I'll be endangered, I won't last

Drop from the canopy with a thrash

Holds me back- holds me back- holds me back- holds me back

Holds me back- holds me back- holds me back- holds me back

Holds me back- holds me back- holds me back- holds me back

Holds me back- holds me back- holds me back- holds me back

Error, error, error, error (error), error

Emotional, emotional

(You'll be the man you always knew you could be)

I'll be the man my mama knew I could be, I'll be the son she always wanted to see

(You'll be the man you always knew you could be)

Is there a song I could write that could make her proud

The whole universe is connected without me

(You'll be the man you always knew you could be)

Is there a song I could write that could make her proud

The whole universe is connected without me

(You'll be the man you always knew you could be)

Is there a song I could write that could make her proud

The whole universe is connected without me

Once I reached downtown I realized I was in purgatory

This is where my story starts, all alone on Noah's Ark

Couldn't find a match for me, I had to wander through the dark

Ancestors look at me bizarre from beyond the stars

Nap on the floor of my apartment, disassociate, I'm nothing more than an avatar

And the sky is pink when the clouds will finally part

This is where my story starts

Is there a song I could write that could make her proud

The whole universe is connected without me

(Has anybody seen a samurai sword, it may have fallen off my belt onto this forest floor)

You'll be the man you always knew you could be

You'll be the man you always knew you could be

You'll be the man you always knew you could be

You'll be the man you always knew you could be

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Oh, the good outweighs the bad even on your worst day

Remember how I'd say

Hey, hey, one day

You'll be the man you always knew you could be
