A Giant's Chair

In your chair where the giants play god

Pretending you are something more

Than just kids that went and got big

Enough to leave the front door

There's no school in being powerful

Or how to grow to from conflict

What is expected when I am directed

To never truly see myself?

Keep it in, keep it in, boy (Don't let it out)

Just smile, just smile now (Stay sweet, stay small)

Keep it in, keep it in, boy (Don't let it out)

Just smile, just smile now (Stay sweet, stay small)

It's just words but they can dig deep

Until they're underneath the skin

All I am scared of, all I am

Was formed inside this frame of time

You're all small and vulnerable

So why are you pretending to be wise and tall?

What is expected when I am directed

To never truly see myself?

Keep it in, keep it in, boy (Don't let it out)

Just smile, just smile now (Stay sweet, stay small)

Keep it in, keep it in, boy (Don't let it out)

Just smile, just smile now (Stay sweet, stay small)

I know I cannot shake

The words that made me fear

These parts of me

The parts that once were shamed

I've learned to trust again

But what you've said

Lives in my head

Let it out, let it out always

Don't just keep it in (Don't let it out)

Be strong, be weak, be you

I'm not built by these words (Stay sweet, stay small)

Let it out, let it out always

Don't just keep it in (Don't let it out)

Be strong, be weak, be you

I'm not built by these words (Stay sweet, stay small)
