Yellow

Sleeping with the light on,
Ever since I was young
In a bed only fit
For the coward who sleeps in it
And just like a fear of flying
This fear is king
Now I would beg, steal, and borrow to be bold, but I’m yellow
And I don’t want to regret, a life that hasn’t happened yet
I’m all dressed up, nowhere to go
Sitting in the sunshade all aglow
My light’s on, now let go, I am yellow.
See these cracks on my skin,
Like the cracks in the porcelain
They reveal where the rain has been,
And that’s why I can’t let you in
So what kind of life is this
When fear is king
Now I would beg, steal, and borrow to be bold, but I’m yellow
And I don’t want to regret a life that hasn’t happened yet
I’m all dressed up nowhere to go
Sitting in the sunshade all aglow
My light’s on, now let go, I am yellow
I’m captive, I’m a slave
My own hands kept me tied to this place
I’ll hose in and shoot fear in the face
Now let me go
Now I would beg, steal, and borrow to be bold, but I’m yellow
And I don’t want to regret a life that hasn’t happened yet
I’m all dressed up nowhere to go
Sitting in the sunshade all aglow
My light’s on, now let go, I am yellow
I am yellow
I am yellow
I am yellow
I am yellow
I am yellow
