History Lyrics by Joseph Arthur

History Lyrics

    You're the shaded sun
    You're daddy's broken gun
    You're the loneliest moon
    You are a butterfly dreaming about your cocoon
    You're the only sound when i am blind
    So i label you mine

    You're the house you grew up in
    You're always just arriving at your end
    You're your mama's shit eatin' grin and your daddy's double chin
    You're the first pair of shoes you ever went to school in
    And you're the kid pretending she's in prison
    Behind the bars of a jungle gym

    Someone's gonna give you wings
    And you'll think it's what you need
    And you'll fly
    You'll be so high

    But you're history acts as your gravity
    Your history acts as your gravity
    Acts as your history acts as your gravity

    You're the only one you ever believe in
    You're the solution and you are the problem
    You're a rapist and your only victim
    You are fact and you are fiction
    Ou're the only one you've considered a friend
    And now you're alive
    Waiting for your life to begin
    Again

    You try to find you, you who is lost
    But your hooked to the rush of approaching chaos
    You're king for a minute but a fool for an hour
    Alone in your room
    You are a closed flower
    Dreams of your shadow you're going to destroy
    The way you handle yourself
    Like an unbreakable toy
