Stare Out the Window - Color Theory

Overtime

Home by nine

Watch TV to loosen up my mind

Pay the bills

Earn a wage

Just enough to keep it all the same

Somehow life slips away

Good or bad it’s just another day

On my own in this world

Safe and sound

But I don’t want to stare out the window

I don’t want to stare all of my life

Don’t want to be afraid to remember

What I might have dared

What could be mine

I don’t want to stare out the window

I don’t want to stare all of my life

All of my life…

Back in my rebel phase

I stood out in all the normal ways

Held a dying man’s faith

That my art would be my resume

But that man passed away

Right or wrong it’s not for me to say

Here at home in my room

Safe and sound

Cause I feel like there is

Someone watching over me

And that something is

Supposed to happen now

If it’s all by design

Keep on watching

I won’t let you down
