Shine

Time to shine!

It’s funny how they make you
who they want you to be

And then they call themselves,
themselves your family

 

It all seems like it makes sense
the way you’re who they want

But is it really there,
really there to construct

 

 

But are you comfortable with that?
Don’t they see,
oh don’t they see,
‘oh, what they did to me!’

 

They say that,
‘You are mine’

 

But open your eyes
and stand up after you cry

 

Because, darling, you’re a mile away

Nobody can catch up today

 

They think you’re the one who can’t play
But you’ll smash them, smash them like clay

 

Oh, baby, you’re a gold statue at heart
They just have to let you spark

 

Make them cry,
oh oh oh

 

Show them how you
go, go, go

 

So funny, don’t you know?
The way you just agree
You easily conform,
so easily you’re swayed

 

But baby you aren’t glad,
in fact you’re super-mad

Deep inside,
the soul that you gotta hide

 

You put yourself away,
smash yourself like clay

 

And you let them rule,
and you stop feeling cool

 

But are you comfortable with that?
Don’t they see,
oh don’t they see,
‘oh, what they did to me!’

 

They say that,
‘You are mine’

 

But open your eyes
and stand up after you cry

 

Because, darling, you’re a mile away

Nobody can catch up today

 

They think you’re the one who can’t play
But you’ll smash them, smash them like clay

 

Oh, baby, you’re a gold statue at heart
They just have to let you spark

 

Make them cry,
oh oh oh

 

Show them how you
go, go, go
