lyrics

The fool believes that we are made all the same
Don't separate the art from what’s out of frame
The harder times will leave the heavier stains, you know that
So many countless things to credit for our shame

It's not that I blame you for the man I am
But you never accepted the role you played

I mourn the trust that you took from me
Two of ten are the HSP
But they call it insanity
In dandelion's humanity

Who are we now depends on plasticity
Yeah phenotypes are made by nature’s decree
And bees will morph to different castes when there’s need
I’m sure that responsiveness is why there’s always been hate in me

And from you neurosis and anxiety
And this selfishness that is inside of me
I still fight to escape your legacy

Over the fuming range, searching to seed a plot
All of the dunes are changed, the tumbleweed is lost
Glad it can do the pain; others would die of shock
I've never seen a rock to wake and try to shake the moss
They said I had no core, but I was still alive
I’ve traveled far and wide, protecting what’s inside
While rats are spawning clones because they mourn alone
Ain’t nearly lived enough to bring up any more their own

So children must reflect these idiots and beasts
That aren’t equipped to teach to doubt that shit they preach
If they’d not been asleep for quite so many years
Then we’d have never fallen pray to all this greed and fears
Then there’s that sensitive twenty per cent of us
You screw them up inside and they get dangerous
That’s why I’m cynical - got in when I was green
If you had taught me trust I wonder who I might have been
I wonder who…

Resent the love that you took from me
Two of ten are the HSP
Still they call it insanity
That’s dandelion’s humanity
