build us a castle in Owl City
a labyrinth with a Simple Plan
far away from The Neighborhood,
we’ll travel there by Train
or better yet, a Lifehouse
in a Frank Ocean of sunny sentiments
where we listen to The Sound of Reason
Bewitched by our own radiance.
let us build our love on this Oasis
as strong as Iron & Wine
the One Republic in which we stand
under the Sugar Ray of Sunshine
and the Sigur Ros of moonlight
make our home a Coldplay
on a hot summer’s day,
and Parachute with insight
Hellogoodbye to ignorance.
we’ll catch a Birdy then set her free
go on a quest for a ladybug
and a Lady Antebellum
make beautiful babies
feed them Eminems
pretend they’re Bruno Mars
because this world
is a Lupe Fiasco
and they’re better off in Linkin’ Park.
we’ll show them the Beatles
make them Gym Class Heroes
snuggle together in Plain White T’s
tell them bedtime stories
Of Monsters and Men
oh, Santana,
don’t you cry for me
california’s not where I want to be
I want to be here
with The Bird and The Bee
where The Script is spontaneity
and The Fray is continuity
these people think us
in A Fine Frenzy
but all we are is Radioheads
and we’re here to play our song.
Because our hearts are a Passion Pit
they beat in an Immortal Technique
we bid our farewell to Phoenix,
desert Florence and The Machine
we lock our home with Alicia Keys,
drape our windows with Julia Sheer
one day we’ll Foster The People,
send alphabets by The Postal Service
but today is a Cascada of bliss
our Nirvana is this happiness
the story of our Evanescence from society
is a song.
and it is this.
