[Verse 1]
You say
"That’s just the way I am"
Shrug it off
Like dust from your hands
But it’s there
That orbiting glare in your eye
Been here longer than your name
Older than your first cry

[Chorus]
It’s not you
It’s the red spot
Spinning on and on and on
Ancient weather in your chest
Calling itself flesh and bone
You wear it like a logo
"That’s just how I’m wired"
But it’s a storm
Not a soul
And it keeps you tired

[Verse 2]
Every room
You darken by an inch
Every joke
Has a hidden flinch
You say "I’m blunt"
Like a brand-new sin
But that heat was burning
Before skin
Before skin

[Chorus]
It’s not you
It’s the red spot
Spinning on and on and on
Ancient weather in your chest
Calling itself flesh and bone
You point at your temper
Say "this is who I am"
But it’s a storm
Not a heart
Just an old
Old jammed dam

[Bridge]
What if you’re the shore
Not the wave that breaks it
What if you’re the pilot light
Not the house that shakes with it
If you stepped aside
Let the sky just roar
Would there be a quiet
You’ve never heard before

[Chorus]
It’s not you
It’s the red spot
Spinning on and on and on
Ancient weather in your chest
Calling itself flesh and bone
You’re bigger than the red spot
Small god of your own sky
Let the storm be a storm
And you just be alive
