Shades - Yellow Ostrich

I wanna sleep but I dream too much

I wanna think but I run too much

Is it true?

That little speck of blue?

I wanna scream but I know too much

I wanna cry but I’ve seen too much

Is it true?

Is that for me and you?

Pull the shades down and never let go

You belong here so you don’t need to know why

They’re running headless now

Sit alone with the pictures that I drew

I can build any universe for you, see?

The stars are nice in a museum

But when you touch them you feel too much

Is it true?

Are they a part of you?

So pull the shades down and never let go

It worries me too but I will never show

See the way it bounces off

Sit alone with the pictures that I drew

I can build any universe for you, see?

I see you swimming in a sea of lava

My feet are tied to the shore

I see you flying in a burning missile

I see you flying in a burning missile, no!

So just try to close your eyes

All that shit, it never hits you

Just try to close your eyes

You don’t walk, you never fall through

So just try to close your eyes

Pull the shades down and never let go

It worries me too but I will never show
