Lyric

Workin’ hard, but they bleed me dry

Boss says “smile,” man, don’t even try

Turnstile eats my ticket, stuck in line

Don’t tell me luck ain’t cruel sometimes

I bow my head, grind my teeth

Hide my rage behind a salesman’s grin

Swallow the pain with a plastic smile

Till my stress dam’s about to break in

Droopin’ sunflower in the heat

Summer drought knocks you down

But the way you keep on standin’

Makes me wanna stand my ground

Dreamin’ of the sun above, reachin’ high

Laugh all you want, I won’t let my dream die

And when one dream comes true

Another’s born inside

Even on break, no rest in my brain

Stamped a workaholic, but I’m just afraid

Drop the weight when no one sees

Stompin’ the floor like a restless beat

Chains I’m draggin’ turn to fuel

Heart’s a generator, breakin’ the rules

Battery twisted, voltage loud

Ready to spark and burn this crowd

Standin’ tall, sunflower in the storm

Lonely nights cut too deep

But you don’t fight back with anger

You give me strength to keep

Dreamin’ of the sun above, reachin’ high

Let ‘em talk, I’ll live my own life

And when one dream comes true

Another’s born inside

Take it easy once, they point and shout

That’s when the worst always comes around

Even a friend who drank with me

Acts like he don’t remember now

Life’s a patchwork, stitched with scars

Lose my job, I’ll drown in time off

Tossed aside, fightin’ the tide

Haunted by the crack in my spine

Silent sunflower in the night

Lonely hours break a man

But love ain’t what you’re given

It’s what you give with your hands

Dreamin’ of the sun above, reachin’ high

Yeah, life’s messy, but sing tonight

And when one dream comes true

Another’s born inside
