heatstroke

Brick + Mortar

My father was a story
My mother was afraid
They didn't mean to make me
But I got made anyway

Since I was a young child (wa-oh)
I much preferred the rain (wa-oh)
They asked me "Are you happy? " (wa-oh)
I said "I can't explain" (wa-oh)

And I say Heatstroke yellow
Maybe strawberry blue
The strongest thing
I ever felt was feelings for you
So try to look me in the eye
A difficult goodbye

To all the things we hide, ah-oh
I live my life upon a crystal shield
It's unbelievable but I keep believing
I'll never give up til the day I die
I'll never give up till the day I die

I say
Every single time
They come back home from the road
I say tell me where you've been to
Tell me what you've gone for
They tell me
"On the road you end up losing you soul"

I'm thinking when they made me
They forgot one of those
I say rich kids singing of
The silver spoon blues
They tell me I can't get in cause
There's just no more room
But they lied
They looked me in the eye
Scared of what they'd find
Underneath my side, ah-oh

And I hope you're right
So I can see the sunshine
And I hope you're right
Cause I don't like this way
And I hope you're right
So I can change the future
Cause I was only hiding in the rain, wa-oh

Since I was a young child
I've seen a lot of rain
You asked me "Are you happy?"
I said "I can't explain"
I told you "I'm a monster" wa-oh
And I can't seem to feel, wa-oh
You asked me "Are you happy? " wa-oh
Said "No but I am real"

And I say Heatstroke yellow
Maybe strawberry blue
The strongest thing
I ever felt was feelings for you
So try to look me in the eye
A difficult goodbye

To all the things we hide, ah-oh
Rich kid singing of the silver spoon blues
They tell you
You can't get in cause
There's just no more room
But they lie
They look you in the eye
Scared of what they'd find
Underneath your side
