Honey I been down this road / a time or two / I remember when it was / a dream of me and you.
My heart is a kingdom / a castle to love / that died in the world / those dreams of up above
My heart is a castle / a vast chilly empty space
You see castles are built / atop tombs of grace
The catacombs / keep growing
Of men who don't know their place
That I pick up and cherish / in the tender forests / of my heart.
Diana / was a lover / don't let them sell you / virginal cathedrals. / Her home was a bower
But it was a home she owned. A home she owneddddd
Banks betting on me cuz I'm white and middle class. I got nothing but problems
And they are all my ownnnnnn. They are all my own.
People tell me that they love me, and its not better when they do.
See love creates nuthin but problems ;’tween me n you.
Cuz my home is not my ownnnnnnnnn. My home is not. My. Own.
The only home, I can hope to own, is the one between me and you.
But you are the rocks, and I am the glue
You pretend you aint got problems and that mine are nothin do.
I’m Helen, I’m Cassandra, I lived it a thousand times. You want to be special,
But you don’t know what to do.
I try to be the ocean, beat my waves upon your rocks
But I want love tomorrow, not a future full of socks.
I’m tired of being a Girl Scout, leaving them better than I found em.
I want my rings of fire. Rings of fire
To burn as brightly as the moon.
The only home I own, is the one tween me and you
