Stevie sings my song

Lyrics

3D SOUNDSTAGE

Verse 1

I followed your fluorescent lies

Down hallways white and wide

Something small inside me died

Something small inside me died

Verse 2

You sold me steel when I was built for soil

You sold me steel when I was built for soil

Promised bright and brought me barren

Promised bright and brought me barren

The fruit I could have fed

Fell from branches in my head

Chorus

You sold me steel

I was built for soil

You sold me steel

I was built for soil

Cold and clean and sterile

Cold and clean and sterile

Verse 3

Your voice was sweet and sure

Said strength was standing straight

In rooms with no windows

In rooms with no windows

My roots began to break

My roots began to break

Chorus

You sold me steel

I was built for soil

You sold me steel

I was built for soil

Cold and clean and sterile

Cold and clean and sterile

Bridge

The light you led me toward

Was fluorescent, false, and hard

The light you led me toward

Left me barren, broke, and scarred

I'm brittle now

I'm brittle now

Just brittle now

Chorus

You sold me steel

I was built for soil

You sold me steel

I was built for soil

Empty, bright, and sterile

Empty, bright, and sterile

Outro

Something small inside me died

Something small inside me died
