Who You Are Not

I know we all want to chase the sun,
but I’m the only man who gets burnt for fun.
God bless this heat &my cancerous tan,
and I stand before you with these holes in my hands.
Just so you know, instead of be held, I’d rather behold.
And it shows — I’ve never been whole.
We might be the same,
but if we don’t notice we might be okay.
Despite the cliché, I’m just out of focus,
but you like it that way.
Can I speak half-truths with my smart mouth?
May I feel your ears, with cheer full down
Extend my reach, but I won’t reach out.
I’d rather watch you drown than admit my drought.
So you know, instead of be held, I’d rather behold.
And it shows — I’ve never been whole.
We might be the same,
but if we don’t notice we might be okay.
Despite the cliché, I’m just out of focus,
but you like it that way.
You tell me I’m a bad man with your bad mouth
that’s how I know it’s meant to be
I know we all want to chase the sun
But I’m the only man who gets burnt for fun
We might be the same,
but if we don’t notice we might be okay.
Despite the cliché, I’m just out of focus,
but you like it that way.
We don’t know who you are not…
