Family portraits Framed degrees White coats Velvet seats Gold pens signing tidy fates They toast each perfect Planned escape They spell my future in their glass A script I'm never gonna cast Their voices carve me into roles But none of them fit my bones Be like us Their favorite hymn But something in me Refuses to bend I'm your colorless flower Growing through your stone Not your painted garden I'm wild I'm my own I won't bloom on command Won't bow to your throne I'm your colorless flower And I'm brighter alone (hey) They brag in rooms I'll never choose Perfect smiles Practiced news Such potential Such a waste They spit sugar in my face But I've got thunder in my hands Dreams they'll never understand I'm not broken I'm just loud I won't drown inside your crowd Be like us They chant again But I'd rather lose Than live pretend I'm your colorless flower Growing through your stone Not your painted garden I'm wild I'm my own I won't bloom on command Won't bow to your throne I'm your colorless flower And I'm brighter alone (woah) You call it selfish I call it breathing You call it failure I call it leaving You say I'm nothing 'Cause I won't be you But I'm too much For your perfect view (yeah) I'm your colorless flower Tearing through your stone I don't need your blessing To build my home I won't bloom on command This life is my own I'm your colorless flower And I'm finally grown (hey, hey) I'm your colorless flower And I'm brighter alone
