lyrics

<verse>
three simple rules trap me in this cabin
the Chief and the TV is all there is
I saved my world once last year
I just had no idea that the world was so big


Quiet makes my mind go blank
it sounds at the edge of my perception
I don't trust my eyes to see
But my other senses may offer salvation



<verse>
I sit still, tie on the blindfold
block off the outside world
send my mind into the blank space
so different from the upside down

the outside in perhaps I'll call it
bleak, empty comfort, not all that much
I find my friends, and strangers too
They cannot see, i cannot touch


<verse>
I reach for Mike, Lucas, Dustin
I long to join them, find away
As i reach out, they fade to mist
Alone I am, alone I stay

The only exception I encounter
Is this the woman in the chair
speaks nothing but this obtuse mantra
her eyes they see me, seem to care

<chorus>

Breathe. Sunflower. Rainbow.
Breathe. Sunflower. Rainbow.

<<verse>>
this woman, they call her Terri
who appears in buried files
she may hold the peerless key
I wonder can I be her child

Images, sounds, tastes and flashes
I know it's true, we are of a name
Papa stole me, hurt and killed her
but of the other; like me, the same

<chorus 2>
Breathe. Sunflower. Rainbow.
Breathe. Sunflower. Rainbow.

three to the right.
four to the left
four fifty

three to the right.
four to the left
four fifty

<verse>
I do not understand
these powers I possess
I can affect the planes and worlds
but I wouldn't call me blessed

I couldn't save her, not back then
I'd give anything to be able now
I struggle with these thoughts of vengeance
I'll work out what's right, this I vow...

<chorus out>
Breathe Sunflower Rainbow
Breathe Sunflower Rainbow
