lyrics

when i was a kid we used to be best friends
you helped me grow
showed me how to love myself

but lately i’ve been feeling strange
(i hate that) in a minute, so much can change

instead of being happy to see you
I just want to cover my green eyes
I can’t un-see what’s burned into my mind

the doctors say the depression’s seasonal
why are you over staying your welcome?


I used to call you sunshine
sunshine
sunshine, you’re getting to me


back in the 60’s i was hot shit
now my skin’s all dry
cuz you’re exhausting me

you’re making my blood boil today
and yesterday you were meant to go the fuck away

you bring me down
you make me wanna drown
but if you can’t bring me to the sea
then just dig me a hole and bury me

from your burn I’m guarding this orange tent
cast on the side is my dark silhouette


I used to call you sunshine
won’t you save your rays
for another time
sunshine
sunshine

you’re hurting my eyes
