Somebody Fix Me by Grace Potter & The Nocturnals

trojan

last night
the walls fell down

(like flags)

they folded
and

i heard the rush, the whoosh
of air

(it sounded like a musket)

in my eardrums / on my bed
i

read all the little stripes (and lies)
and

the white parts in between.

she won.
the country, the stars,
the fireworks (of) one year ago


(she) broke tradition
and (she) fell in love and (she) chose
independence

which is exactly / what i will do.
last night
(the walls fell down, and) i will leave them.
some

things were meant to be this way:
completely empty,

like the barrel of a gun.
this is
(why i run)...
