It is not the day
Doesn't happen on the hour
bend too far you might break
With expectations of a flower
You're learning where to draw the line
But they're offering good exposure
And your mom says you know you can die
From too much exposure
Art is not a motorbike
And your talents not the top of the tower
Bending towards the light
With expectations of a flower
Its a dream and I am dream it everyday
I'll be lucky if I don't wake
Tonight you played 'em the good stuff
But the crowd just left you sour
Your amp is buzzing like a bee
With expectations of a flower
What she thinks of you
You lost control You hold no Power
The rate of growth with not be skewed
By the expectation of a flower
