Surrogate

You’re the sugar coat on a bitter pill
You’re the place i go in a earthquake drill
You will walk to the porch with a bat in your hand
So i don’t have to look at the boogeyman
You flash all of the light underneath my bed
And the monsters have not found me yet

But they found you
They surround you
Look around you
Yeah they found you

You’re the softest nest in the highest tree
You’re a needed kiss on a wounded knee
You crack open a cactus with your bare hands
So i don’t die of thirst in a desert land
You rip all of the targets right off my head
And thе arrows have not got me yet

But thеy got you
Yeah they shot you
An onslaught into you
Yeah they got you

You’re a little bird with a lion’s mane
Your dreams deferred in a weathervane
I will scour the depths and the breadth of the sea
And collect all the joy that you gave up for me
To the queen with her crown i will coronate
I will bow at the feet of my surrogate
I will praise you cause you raised me
My grace traced to you
Thank you Haley
Thank you Haley
Thank you Haley
