lyrics

A dazzling daisy rose up from the street
But he called her the ugliest plant you could meet
“Your stalk is all twisted, your colors too few
I can’t see why anyone would ever pick you”
And she cried

“Against all the odds fought for water and sun
Just for the one day that I’d see someone
Look down on my petals, find brightness that day
I just can’t see how he could have such a say”
Well, he lied

It had nothing at all to do
With botany or truth
It wasn’t that he thought
Photosynthesis was flawed
It was just because his own colors had all rained off

A glorious sunrise came over the fence
“You’re the sorryest daybreak I ever did glimpse
Raced up far too quickly, got lost in the fog
You might as well not bother shining at all”
So it rained

“I’ve traveled for lightyears in circles, blank space
Just to give life to this dirty old rock
And only for that life to laugh in my face
I think that tomorrow I won’t rise at all
Just stay set”

It had nothing at all to do
With astronomy or truth
It wasn’t like he’d shown
That comets were crashing on homes
He’d just forgotten how to rise and give light of his own

A day without flowers, a week without sun
He looked out for something to shoulder the blame
But found only dimness, blank patches of ground
And all over town was the same and the same and the same
