Brick + Mortar - Heatstroke lyrics

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 They 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
