up to the sun look up to the sun look up for the sun my dear human the sky is frozen how can the roses open their arms and hearts and eyes to the sun to the sun TV told me this TV told me that I believe in it I believe I believe I believe my soul smells frost my color is lost I need to open my arms and heart and eyes to the sun to the sun and you believe you like to believe believe find - find what you're looking for in the streets find - find you were looking for your limbs (what you're looking for) your dreams your grief your limbs my petals seem broken remaining down still soaking who'd think to open a heart, a soul, a mind to the stars to the stars my thorns are angry my eyes are hungry I do no wrong still nothing is right neutral feelings neutral feelings feeding my roots apathy smooth apathy smooth it's always someone else's fault always someone else's fault always someone else's fault (not mine) always someone else's fault (not mine) always someone else's fault this time it's the sky's that's frozen and we are just roses

turn that music on turn that music on turn that music on I need some comfort turn that music on I need to export this giant fist that lives inside my chest keeping all my dreams breathing in the mess but they're blooming in the dirt like the white lotus white flowers blooming in the dirt wishing this wouldn't hurt I run - I run - I hurry up I run - I run - no stop in whatever I might do, I run there is no - there is no - no time increasing speed and it hurts - and it hurts something stops me like a burst no speed right now I stay still - I stay still seeing somehow what is real all the colors of the world all the colors of the world all the colors of the world all the colors of the world everywhere they flow in this city that I love paint with color rainbow all the colors of the world everywhere they flow in this city that I love paint with color rainbow how beautiful is this how beautiful all these colors blooming in the dirt colors blooming in the world I see colors in the dirt (colors blooming in the dirt) floating moments of the world when we unite we are light
