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
