(Spoken)

I've been blinded by the colors

Of those who suffer like me

Behind the structure of a smile

You can hide all the debris

Just show them all a sunset

While you feel swallowed by the sea

They're dancing in the glow

While you beg to be set free

When you dip into the darkness

They'll tell you you're a light

But you know you only shine for them

Praised to just keep up the fight

Think today could be the day

You said you won't but you just might

But, you can't let them see you flickеr

So you make sure you shine еxtra bright

"We'd miss you if you left

How could you ever want to leave?

I can't think of life without you

I don't think I'd ever fully grieve"

Suffocated by that guilt

You push your pain inside your sleeve

And just like that

You're back to playing make believe

The thing with being bright

Is that they say your colors paint their sky

They might call you a rainbow

Or say you're fireworks, dancing through July

But you're really iridescent

Different colors seen by every eye

They tell you you're an angel

But they'd never let you fly

After years of carrying those weights

You traded them for wings

No longer hanging by these ropes

You made a guitar out of those strings

When you left, all I could do was cry

I wasn't ready for the sting

But I think about where you must be now

How everyday is flowers blooming in the spring

I dream every day that I could join you

And a few times, I almost did

But I guess it wasn't my time yet

So I send my love up through the wind

I'd rather you be gone and happy

Then be here wanting to rip off your skin

I feel like no one understands that

But, that's just the mindset I've been in
