Flower

Album: Beautiful freak [#7]

Turn the ugly light off God,
Wanna feel the night.
Everyday it shines down on me
Don't you think that I see?
Don't you think that I see what it's all about?
Hard to look the other way
While the world passes me by
And everyone is trying to bum me out.

It's a pretty big world God
And I am awful small
Everyday they rain down on me:
Flower in a hailstorm.
Flower in a hailstorm,
I'm living for the drought.
I could throw it back at them
But then I'd play their game.
everyone is trying to bum me out

When I came into this world they slapped me,
And everyday since then I'm slapped again.
Tomorrow's king: an unsightly coward
You see, I know I'm gonna win.

Turn the ugly light off God
Don't wanna see my face.
Everyday it will betray me
Don't you think that I know?
Don't you think that I know what they're talking about?
If they step on me tonight,
They're gonna pay someday.
Everyone is trying to bum me out.
