Open Up To Colors

The world turns black
and now I’m back
to where I was before.

Now I’m back
and I can hear
them knocking on my door.

So, I open up to colors
and close my ears to sound
‘cause my head is in the clouds
and my feet are off the ground.

I use my wings.
Way up way out,
the wicked world once was.

I can sing.
My mind sings songs
of red and green because

I open up to colors
and close my ears to sound
‘cause my head is in the clouds
and my feet are off the ground.

Why can’t they see I just
want to be me?

Why do they push me out?

Can’t they see my mind
is not a thing
and so I sing,

“Just let them scream!”
I can’t hear I’m
much too busy now.

Yes it seems
I just don’t care,
I’m by myself somehow

when I open up to colors
and close my ears to sound
‘cause my head is in the clouds
and my feet are off the ground.

Why can’t they see I just
want to be me?

Why do they push me out?

Can’t they see my mind
is not a thing
and so I sing,

“Just let them scream!”
I can’t hear I’m
much too busy now.

Yes it seems
I just don’t care,
I’m by myself somehow

when I open up to colors
and close my ears to sound
‘cause my head is in the clouds
and my feet are off the ground.

I open up to colors
and close my ears to sound.

I open up to colors
and close my ears to sound.

My head is in the clouds
and my feet are of the ground.
