Admire Me!

We feel joy between our
Darkest clouds and shades of broken rainbows
Floating toward the shadow play

But then you walk
Into the sun
With my heart
In your hand
You come undone

Why should I just try and
Turn myself for change
Leave it alone 'cause you'll be
Better off that way
It seems we might

I'm a product to be sold to
Puppets with no strings
You can walk on your own
Go ahead and rise
It's easy right?

Now I got your vote
But things don't change that easily
Once again we both feel empty

I told you time and time
My hands are tied
Wake up there's no chance
It takes more to change the rules

Why should I just try and
Turn myself for change
Leave it alone 'cause you'll be
Better off that way
It seems we might

I'm a product to be sold to
Puppets with no strings
You can walk on your own
Go ahead and rise
It's easy right?

I can't change you
I can only hope for you to do okay
I can't control you
Cannot tell you how to behave

I can't force you
To do what you don't wanna do
And I'm still as hopeless
As you feel powerless

I can't change you
I can only hope for you to do okay
I can't control you
Cannot tell you how to behave

I can't force you
To do what you don't wanna do
But only you can fix this mess
It's not just your homes
It's those of your kids...
