lyrics

Why don’t you tell it to the sun? Just stare right in.
Sure it burns but there’s a beauty rushing in.
All the hallowed grounds have crumbled to their cores;
To the element we never guessed they were.
And when it all came down
Bitter-sweetness was the sound
Beneath a cloud of dust
Came a ray that broke the dusk
Nowhere left to run
Raise my head and tell the sun

There’s a snake biting my brain I can’t seem to shake.
And there’s a damsel in my bed I can’t seem to save.

I’m in the sky with my arms open wide
begging for your burdens like my prodigal child

Fell into the world seed into sand
Fighting to hold onto this shifting land
until there was no warmth in the descent
It was so very dark in the basement
Corona Corona will help to understand
What it is to be an illuminated man
Is it illustrated chaos?
Is there a master plan?
Please tell me.
Nowhere left to run
Raise my head and tell the sun

There’s a snake biting my brain I can’t seem to shake.
And there’s a damsel in my bed I can’t seem to save.

I’m in the sky with my arms open wide
begging for your burdens like my prodigal child

There’s a snake biting my brain I can’t seem to shake.
And there’s a damsel in my bed I can’t seem to save. (I’ll tell it to the sun)
There’s a snake biting my brain I can’t seem to shake.
And there’s a damsel in my bed I can’t seem to save. (I’ll tell it to the sun)
