Beneath the canopy
There's no breeze
It's all water and pebbles and leaves
This place
Were we go to roam
Our house
Starts to feel like a home away from home
I want to feel okay
But all these fucking little things keep getting in the way
I'll try to pretend it's a game
But that doesn't take away the shame
I know
You're standing there
My gaze averted
But I still feel your stare
This is not a test
I'll focus on what's important and ignore the rest
This is not a test
Our wings never worked, their never was a nest
This is not a test
I did my Very best
This is not a test
I swear, I swear I did my very best
This is not a test
