You Are a Rainbow Too Lyrics

It's clear why you like rainbows

They expose every layer of light

They are visible non-physical forms

They sustain contrast

They thread multiple frequencies in air

They symbolize

They amplify

They empathize

You are a rainbow too

You are a rainbow too

You are filled with refracted light

You contain the multitudes

You remain visible

You are a rainbow too

You are a rainbow too

You are a rainbow too

You are a rainbow too

You rage and you play and you rage again

You paint and explain and then you paint again

If only we knew what to do with your light

If only we knew what to do with fear

If only we knew what to do when the darkness makes you disappear

The feet

The wings

The socks, the seams

The bridge, the methods

The vengeance and visits

The brine, the babies, the places you make

The mazes of phrases, the stacks of suitcases

The men that you hate, and the faces you paint on the structures and rectangles you square yourself with

The cast iron casket that's full of complaints

The anger you feel about being the holder, the pressure and burdens

The fish on your shoulder,

everyone wondering where have you been

And asking you what kind of symbols you put on your belt

Why do you melt

Why do you boil

Why are you covered in honey and oil

Why is it viscous

Why are you ancient

Why are you bulbous and dirty and naked

So rancid and plastic

So handmade it's classic so

Now you are frozen encased in some slime

Dripping with purples and aquas inside

You could thaw it all out

Try to keep it at bay

But, all of that stickiness is here to stay

All of that stickiness is here to stay.

You rage and you play and you rage again.

You paint and explain and then you paint again

If only we knew what to do with your light

If only we knew what to do with fear

If only we knew what to do when the darkness makes you disappear

Instruments are easy to play

First learn how to hold it

Have someone teach you that

Try to make a sound come out. That's a note

Learn how to play every note available on the instrument

String some different notes together. That's a melody

Try to make sounds you like

That's music

Then sleep and try again

When you're sleeping your dreams teach your body how to play it

The hard part is doing it over and over. Sometimes your hands will hurt

Sleep

Make sounds

Repeat

That's how you learn everything

Try. Sleep. Repeat. Repeat.

Also change your tactics as you go along

One day you and I will get to the moon

I hope there will be a pool at the hotel

If so you can try the high dive

Bounce up and float down so slowly

What will you think about on the way down

I hope you'll think about being alive

Being awake

Being aware

Being where you are

Floating on the moon

We'll get there
