Lyric

No matter how hard I work, it’s taken away

They say “show some drive” — isn’t that insane?

Ticket swallowed, stopped at the gate again

Am I wrong to curse my luck in the rain?

Bow my head down, grit my teeth in pain

With clenched teeth, I sell a smiling face

Swallow the shame with a grin so bright

Stress keeps building day and night

Hey, drooping sunflower

A summer without rain is rough, I know

That stubborn stand you’re taking now

You can’t afford to lose it though

You reached for the sun, stretched up so high

Feels like I’m watching my own life

My heart’s not clean, not pure or white

I’m just trying not to dry up inside

Laugh if you want — I’ll live shamelessly

Even resting doesn’t bring me peace

They tag me as a “workaholic beast”

Truth is, I’m scared, I always was

Dropping burdens when nobody looks

Stomping like I’m dancing through the night

Cutting ties — that’s my energy source

My heart’s already emotional ecology

A twisted mood keeps my battery full

Frozen sunflower

Stormy nights are hard to stand

Talking back means losing ground

Thanks for lending me your strength

You survived chasing the sun this far

Let them talk — I am who I am

If I slack off, I stand out fast

That’s when things go off the rails

Even those meant to have my back

Pretend the nights we drank never happened

Life was patched together from the start

If I’m fired, I get days off anyway

Used, tossed, drifting, holding on

Haunted by my creaking spine

Silent sunflower

Lonely nights cut deep, don’t they

Love’s not something we receive

It’s something we choose to give

Didn’t you keep looking up at the sun?

Yeah, life throws all kinds of storms

Well then — let’s sing together

Let’s sing along

Sing along
