Who You Are Not

Who you are not?

I know we all want to chase the sun

But I’m the only man who gets burnt for fun

God bless this heat and my cancerous tan

And I stand before you with these holes in my hands

So you know instead of be held I'd rather be whole

And it shows

I've never been whole

We might be the same

But if we don’t notice we might be okay

Despite the cliché, I’m just out of focus

But you like it that way

Can I speak half truth with my smart mouth?

May I fill your ears with cheerful doubt?

Extend my reach but I won't reach out

I'd rather watch you drown than admit my drought

Just so you know, instead of be held, I’d rather behold

And it shows- I’ve never been whole

We might be the same

But if we don’t notice we might be okay

Despite the cliché, I’m just out of focus

But you like it that way

You tell me I’m a bad man with your bad mouth- that’s how I know it’s meant to be

I know we all want to chase the sun

But I’m the only man who gets burnt for fun

We might be the same

But if we don’t notice we might be okay

Despite the cliché, I’m just out of focus

But you like it that way

We don't know who you are not
