The Antlers - Palace

You were simpler, you were lighter when we thought like little kids. Like a weightless, hate-less animal, beautifully oblivious before you were hid inside a stranger you grew into, as you learned to disconnect. Now he hangs your mirrors separately, so one can’t show you what the other reflects. When he heard I was on his tail, he emptied your account and hid a part of you that’s so invaluable (the part of you unsellable at any amount). He left the tallest peak of your paradise buried in the bottom of a canyon in hell, but I swear I’ll find your light in the middle, where there’s so little late at night, down in the pit of the well. Then when heaven has a line around the corner, we shouldn’t have to wait around and hope to get in if we can carpenter a home in our heart right now and carve a palace from within. We won’t need to take a ton of pictures, It won’t be easy to believe the day we wake inside a secret place that everyone can see.
