The Glooms - Sunset Clouds

You put me in this race
I can't keep up a steady pace
I wanna enjoy what I sing
A sparrow can't fly with a broken wing
I wanna show to the world
I'm worth something a little more
The feeling is what is good
I would if I could
I see sunset clouds
Makes me wanna go away
Take me to the place where I
See sunset clouds
Makes me wanna go away
Take me to the place where I can finally say
That I, I, I belong right here
I've been trying my best for so many years
I, I, I wanna stay right here
Did you put me on mute or is it just your ears
That I, I, I deserve to be here
With my friends, my folks, my people, my peers
That I, I, I wanna be right here
I've been putting in my blood, sweat, and tears
Shaky hands sweaty palms
Thoughts running a million miles a second
Wanna tell you the truth
But when I come close
I always second guess it
Can you tell I'm lying
When I say I'm doing fine
Cause you look at me askew
But you can't read between the lines
Is it something wrong with me?
Should I hide from being seen?
These sunset clouds rush over me
With my eyes a glossy sheen
Is there something wrong with me?
Cause these sunset clouds rush over me
Is there something wrong with me?
Should I run from the spotlight?
Notice me
Is there something wrong with me?
Cause these sunset clouds rush over me
Is there something wrong with me?
Should I run from the spotlight?
Notice me
Lately, things have been really hard
Like a hurricane in my yard
Try to crochet but it winds up in knots
I like making things so I won't be forgot
Sunset clouds I see them rise
I remember I'm here and alive
Take a moment, live behind my eyes
You'll see loves sweet reprise
My poetry is how I'm heard
Hanging on every word
If I write my poetry
Would you read it, read it, read it, read it?
Read between the lines
Look into my eyes
If you read my poetry
Woulda ya get it, get it, comprehend it?
If you lived behind my eyes
Would you understand why I write?
I hear the birds chirp in the distance
And trees blow next to me
I see the kids on their bikes
While they're playing in the street
I've put my earbuds in and now
I can't hear a thing about anything
I can wish and hope and pray for life
But here I am to sing
That I am happy but at the same time
I'm not yet here we are
That I'm still living but I'm dead inside
And I can't wait to get away
I could use some joy in my life
But you drain it out
I could use some happiness
But I can't say it out loud
I could use some serotonin
But we can't seem to keep it around
I could use some sunset clouds
But my head seems to constantly pound
I, I, I belong right here (Is there something wrong with me?)
I've been trying my best for so many years (Cause these sunset clouds rush over me)
I, I, I wanna stay right here (Is there something wrong with me?)
Did you put me on mute or is it just your ears (Should I run from the spotlight? Notice me)
That I, I, I deserve to be here (Is there something wrong with me?)
With my friends, my folks, my people, my peers (Cause these sunset clouds rush over me)
That I, I, I wanna be right here (Is there something wrong with me?)
I've been putting in my blood, sweat, and tears (Should I run from the spotlight? Notice me)
If I write my poetry (I could use some joy in my life)
Would you read it, read it, read it, read it? (But you drain it out)
Read between the lines (I could use some happiness)
Look into my eyes (But I can't say it out loud)
If you read my poetry (I could use some serotonin)
Woulda ya get it, get it, comprehend it? (But we can't seem to keep it around)
If you lived behind my eyes (I could use some sunset clouds)
Would you understand why I write? (But my head seems to constantly pound)
