Lyrics

[Intro]
How big is the rainbow?
[Verse 1]
I feel no shame except the shame you throw with your eyes
I know by now that I'm no safer in disguise
Do you feel a hate inside your heart?
Do you feel a hatred start to grow?
Just know that it's hate that lets you know
Just how much further your heart has to go
[Chorus]
How big is the rainbow?
How big is the rainbow?
How big is the rainbow?
How big is the rainbow?
[Verse 2]
You have become someone that I don't recognize
You twist reality just to bring it down to your size
But it's an illusion that you see
Oh, it's an illusion you control
And it's an illusion till you ground yourself
In a love that makes you whole, oh
[Chorus]
How big is the rainbow?
How big is the rainbow?
How big is the rainbow?
[Bridge]
How big is the rainbow?
Open the gates and let me in
How big is the rainbow?
I wanna know how to begin again
How big is the rainbow?
In this lifetime again
How big is the rainbow?
How big is the rainbow?
[Verse 3]
And I feel my body leave my body, leave reality
Unwind yourself from all you know
'Cause I saw your God, and your God can't see me
[Bridge]
How big is the rainbow?
Balancing the illusion
How big is the rainbow?
Balancing the illusion
How big is the rainbow?
Balancing the illusion, balance it, balance it, balance, balance
How big is the rainbow?
Balancing the illusion
How big is the rainbow?
Balancing the illusion
How big is the rainbow?
Balancing the illusion
How big is the rainbow?
How big is the rainbow?
[Outro]
How big is the rainbow?
How big is the rainbow?
How big is the rainbow?
How big is the rainbow?
