lyrics

Sat down another paint pale
I am tired of the fucking grey scale
Of screaming in Braille
Of library quiet and stale
I went outside; I was too pale
My life is no fairy tail
I got up one day to fail
I received black in the mail
My life sits by a sign that reads for sale
I’m doing it over tooth and nail
I’m more than just the minor scale
I’m Persian minor and rebel
Such a mess that you can’t tell
If it’s music or if I just don’t play well
Chromatic but I will never be pastel

I spun the color wheel and landed on red
God damn that color; always going to my head
Blood, bloody knuckle sky, a man dead
Comin in with that lead
Always finding a new way to be bled
Anyway ignore what I just said
The hooded girl who became instead
Nothing like what you read

Cue ball white
8 ball smite
No rainbow in sight
Dark after the light
Odd one out left outright
Blue 2 is bright
Commonplace birthright
I’m the saboteur alright
Black-hearted with all my might
Scatter, chaos reigns to excite
The thunder is why I made the kite
My rainbow bled like a fight
The picture book wasn’t right
Cue ball stared at nothing, lucite
Suddenly it faded; always finite
The dry sky so black I thought it was night
The sun spared no moonlight
I had been chasing a weather satellite

Blue is for a rainy day streak
When the sun doesn’t shine for over a week
Not all sunshine and rainbows; she won’t speak
There’s a tear that rolls down her cheek
The blue was bleak
We’re just people underneath
We bleed from the bleach
We figure from speech
But you cannot reach
So go inside; find peace

My life is no fairytale
Those have no pain scale
The rainbow ended in hail
I’m still gay without fail
There was no unicorn; maybe a ponytail
The sun went ahead and decided to bail
My life is still going to veer off trail
Tracking along like a snail
My family still gonna go through my mail
A bitch may end up in retail
But nonetheless I prevail
And take down the fucking sign that says for sale
