lyrics

I'm the center of their world
I'm the center of their wall
With my 5-year-old drawings
And my 5-year-old scrawl

I learned a new word today
It's called "victory"
And I wrote it on my picture
Of our newly-planted tree

I drew the branches right off the page
'Cause not all branches can be encaged
'Cause not all branches can be encaged

I'm the center of their world
I'm the center of their wall
With my name on angry documents
From Family Law

I learned a new word today
It's called "custody"
Someone gets to choose
And the loser will be me

I drew the branches right off the page
'Cause not all branches can be encaged
'Cause not all branches can be encaged

I learned a new word today
It's called "guarantee"
Never seen it, never felt it
Never felt worthy

I drew the branches right off the page
Now I'm driven right off the stage
'Cause not all branches can be encaged
'Cause not all branches can be encaged

'Cause not all branches can be encaged
'Cause not all branches can be encaged
