I know the rules
When I’m with Tommy my friend
I give all of my eye contact
To his girlfriend
Then I’m not a threat
But even when I do it perfect
She sometimes still gets scared
I won’t hurt you
Blazing red
Don’t you lie down dead
Don’t you drink that poison
It’s no good for you
I can mind my manners
And treat your mother nice
All the women who gave birth to us
I recognize
I see when they are happy for us
And when they misunderstand
I’m carrying a torch for them
I won’t get burned by it
Chorus
Instead of getting smaller
Instead of lowering my head
I become my soul
I become my soul
And it’s blazing red
