Sunshine+by+Taylor+Pestorius

I make sunshine in my mind, Of inspiration, it is a sign. I prefer to think outside the line, Prefer to think I’m one of a kind. Forever I’ve left a blank slate behind, It’s my source of light, this sunshine of mine.

It’s deep and different, this brain of mine, I can’t guarantee myself peace of mind. A storm of color, rationality hides behind , So twisting that my brain needs traffic signs, I hold on with the fact I’m one of a kind, That I never feel like I’m out of line.

There was once in life when I had a line, I was not safe in this brain of mine. To me, my conscience was never kind, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Sadness drowned sunshine in my mind. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I had to live with a thought stop sign, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">To save my line, it’s a place I’d stay behind.

<span style="background-color: #00ff00; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I fell in the shadows when I was behind <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I grew to hate that I had a line. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I crusaded to remove my stop sign, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">But this sunshine of mine, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It didn’t shine all through my mind, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It couldn’t shine bright when thoughts were not kind.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Of course, my brain was one of a kind, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">But there were things I had to leave behind. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In order to survive in my own mind, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I’d have to discover how to prosper beyond the line. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">After all, this place was wholly mine, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">To change, I didn’t need a clear signal sign.

<span style="background-color: #00ff00; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">My cloudy brain was the only sign, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The sunshine was supposed to make it kind. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I needed a way to conquer what’s mine, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">To leave any clouds far behind, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I needed so that there was no line, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">So that every place was happy in my mind.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I pushed my stop sign I crossed behind. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I pushed the kind sunshine beyond the line. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This sunshine of mine is the only thing in my mind.
