Sunshine
Oh, my poor, bare bones
Rubbed raw from words alone
My colours never suited them
Now I'm sun-bleached and two-dimensional
Catch me just right
In that ultraviolet light
It's such a small price
For that inch of respite
And when I've run dry
When I'm parched and tongue-tied
I know that well enough, this well's enough for life
Oh, my shapeless soul
Dug up from a dark, damp hole
All these others never suited me
Now I'm tongue-tied and unconventional
Catch me just right
In that ultraviolet light
It's such a small price
For that inch of respite
And when I've run dry
When I'm parched and tongue-tied
I know that well enough, this well's enough for life
