Stained Glass Ceilings (彩绘玻璃天花板) - The Wonder Years[00:00:00]

Like a burning monk[00:00:04]

You're my light flare out in the dark[00:00:07]

You're my constant call to arms[00:00:11]

Took the blindfold off[00:00:15]

They'd left chalk outlines where the future was[00:00:17]

It's a goddamn war of attrition[00:00:22]

It's a death by a thousand cuts[00:00:26]

And if these motherf**kers made it to heaven[00:00:30]

They'd burn the bridge when they got across[00:00:33]

They're gathering anchors[00:00:36]

They're gathering rope[00:00:37]

You push into heaven all alone[00:00:40]

They're grabbing your ankles[00:00:44]

They won't let you go[00:00:45]

The ebb and the distant flow[00:00:47]

They're cutting your wings off[00:00:51]

Built you ceilings out of stained glass[00:00:54]

Well you cut[00:01:00]

Like gravel in my skinned knee[00:01:02]

The wound will close eventually[00:01:06]

You'll stay as a reminder of how f**ked this world can be[00:01:10]

Held your funeral on a Tuesday[00:01:17]

Holy waters November cold[00:01:21]

The kid who pulled the trigger[00:01:25]

Knew too well couldn't promise him hope[00:01:28]

All these bastards are gathering rope[00:01:31]

You push into heaven all alone[00:01:34]

They're grabbing your ankles[00:01:38]

They won't let you go[00:01:40]

The ebb and the distant flow[00:01:42]

They're cutting your wings off[00:01:46]

Built your ceilings out of stained glass[00:01:48]

They were cutting your wings off[00:01:53]

I was staring at my idle hands[00:01:55]

Maybe I could've done something[00:02:00]

Maybe I could've made a difference[00:02:08]

John Wayne with a God complex[00:02:45]

Tells me to buy a gun[00:02:49]

Like shooting a teenage kid is gonna solve any problems[00:02:51]

Like it's an arms race[00:02:55]

Like death don't mean nothing[00:02:57]

To know the heavy price of living poor[00:03:01]

Walled in by red lines backed into a corner[00:03:05]

Not knowing growing up what it's like to belong here in America[00:03:08]

If everyone's built the same then how come building's[00:03:15]

So f**king hard for you[00:03:19]

It's something we're all born into[00:03:22]

Enough is enough too gray[00:03:30]

It's black or white and sometimes black and blue[00:03:32]

It's something we're all born into whoa-oh[00:03:38]

Now I know what's in a name[00:03:47]

Not just my father[00:03:49]

Three-fifths a man makes half of me[00:03:50]

Why should I bother[00:03:53]

Merchants of misery stacking the deck[00:03:54]

F**k your John Waynes[00:03:58]

F**k your God complex[00:04:00]

I have everything in front of me[00:04:01]

But there is far enough[00:04:04]

To touch those fever dreams[00:04:06]

They call America[00:04:08]

I am the ghetto's chosen one[00:04:10]

The privileged bastard son[00:04:13]

They're gathering anchors[00:04:16]

They're gathering rope[00:04:18]

You push into heaven all alone[00:04:20]

They're gathering anchors[00:04:24]

They're gathering rope[00:04:25]

You push into heaven all alone[00:04:28]

No all alone[00:04:31]
