Earthbound

I write to stay awake
Light dies quicker in the wintertime
Wolves line the city streets
All that’s left is a tired crime
I’ll sleep away the cold
I’ll wrap myself up like a twisted wire
Coiled like a rattlesnake
Bites burn just like a bush fire
I’m in shock, I’m in shock
I’m in shock, I’m in shock
I’m a switchblade renegade
My heart’s buried in the junkyard
Covered it in kerosene
Burned it up in cold regard
I’m a switchblade renegade
I’m not stand up, I’ve got lies down
To the core, I’m a carnivore
I will never be earthbound
Dark bites away the sun
Leaves behind its shy twin
Light’s there for anyone
I have had my fill within
My thoughts break like falling glass
Shatter when I try to let them out
Color cracks, I can’t take it back
I wish I’d never opened my mouth
I’m in shock, I’m in shock
I’m in shock, I’m in shock
I’m a switchblade renegade
My heart’s buried in the junkyard
Covered it in kerosene
Burned it up in cold regard
I’m a switchblade renegade
I’m not stand up, I’ve got lies down
To the core, I’m a carnivore
I will never be earthbound
I will never be earthbound
I’m in shock, I’m in shock
I’m in shock, I’m in shock
I’m in shock, I’m in shock
I’m in shock
I’m a switchblade renegade
My heart’s buried in the junkyard
Covered it in kerosene
Burned it up in cold regard
I’m a switchblade renegade
I’m not stand up, I’ve got lies down
To the core, I’m a carnivore
I will never be earthbound
(I'm in shock)
I will never be earthbound
(I'm in shock)
I will never be earthbound
(I'm in shock)
I will never be earthbound
