Allie

Allie, what would you do When there's bombs in the middle east, you want to hurt yourself When there's knives in the city streets, you want to end yourself When there's fun in your mother's house, you want to cry yourself to sleep Allie, what would you do With your fears, because they're adding one by one And your mountains are obscured behind the sun And the person that you could be is crumbling into dust You're in the mess 'cause you thought You'd be someone else 'Cause the tricks in your head are a lie Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie Allie, hand on your head And a prayer from the soon to be closing library And if you looked from here, you would surely see There's a softness in your heart, there's a poetry to come You bought that gun 'cause you thought You'd be someone else 'Cause the tricks in your head are a lie Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie You made a list of all your heroes And you thought about what they went through Yeah, you thought about what they went through It's much darker, much harder, than anything that happened to you Allie, what would you do When your seven year plan happens to someone else And the people in your life you would happily shelf When day falls night, you are truly on your own You're in this place 'cause you thought You'd be someone else But the tricks in your head are a lie Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie
