Rainbows (Acoustic)

The day you were born was the best day of your life
From there, you learned to smile through pain and say “it’s a good day,” even if that meant you were lying
You’ve been lying every day for a long time
You've been painting your possessions a deeper shade of blue
Because that's what your mother and your father asked of you
Well they don't like rainbows, do they
They don't like rainbows, do they
And they don't like snowflakes, either
Give them a snowstorm, darling
You asked your mother what those words meant to her
She never said them, but you knew she meant them
She didn’t have tell you, you’re her liability
You heard her telling her work friends
You tried to be the boy she wished that you were
You cut your hair for her, you burnt that dress for her
You painted every wall the deepest shade of blue
They covered up the rainbow but they still couldn’t hide you
Well they don't like rainbows, do they
They don't like rainbows, do they
And they don't like snowflakes, either
Give them a snowstorm darling
Give them a snowstorm
Understand you have a place on this earth
That is something you can’t afford to forget
Understand you will encounter people
Trying to blame someone else for their own self hatred
You were conditioned to hate yourself
Based on the opinion of everyone else - rethink
You are not a label or a liability
You are a ray across the sky, don’t forget your strength
Rethink

Okay
Depressed and listening to Arcade Fire, in my car at One in the morning
There’s a scary amount of things to lose - even more to be created
I’ve spent a lot of my life laying on floors‚ trying to get a handle on everything
Haven’t figured out a way to do that yet‚ I promise I’m always trying
I’ll be honest with you‚ I don’t like myself very much right now
I’ll be honest with you, I don’t like myself very much right now
I let a piece of myself die so the rest of me could live
Sometimes you have to say goodbye to the parts of you that you cannot forgive
I’ll be honest with you, I don’t like myself very much right now
I’ll be honest with you‚ I don’t like myself very much right now
I need rest
I let a piece of myself die so the rest of me could live
The last time I considered suicide was driving from Mount Vernon at One AM
This feeling of emptiness has been my driver for far too long
I’m better than the places that it’s taking me
If I can’t reclaim my driver’s seat
I will walk myself towards home until my legs buckle beneath me
You can pick me up if you choose to do so
I will rest in the ruin of my frail creation
Depressed and listening to Arcade Fire, in my car at Two in the morning
