lyrics

The only thing that I don't see is my head
I tried to run but my legs went numb instead
I claimed that I was left so they called me red
I fell asleep in the dark and they called me dead

The sun is gleaming closely, cooking up the street
The day is growing taller and I've got no one to meet
We'll find our way outside through the restless summer haze
Setting sun, please don't be done today

I told them I was a bear so they called me a bull
They screamed at me to push but the door read "pull"
I filled their empty threats until they were full
But they said I was a square peg in a round hole

I made my mind to outdo the blue-eyed ones
Kicked at my front door but I stole their guns
I asked her when she thought she would be done
But she was busy staring into the sun
