Sunn

I watched the sunlight cross the furniture
And I didn’t flinch when it all got burned away
And while in the middle of those fires
I always find myself with nothing much to say
And I used to wish my blood would travel
That my genetic line
It wouldn’t end with me
But in the light of all that’s built me
I see that some dead ends are probably for the best
Come find these thoughts and pull them out of me
'Cause they’re nothing I have asked for
Sometimes when sleep becomes your enemy
It feels better to dream when the sun is accounted for
I sang a song I swore I would
Until my voice was gone
Now I’m just listening
While the sunlight cuts its name in my skin
And I left my ghost along the shore
To find a port to harbor me
But I ain’t so young
To believe a home is ever very permanent
So save yourself a little breath
We don’t often change what we’re scared of
And we just paint the scars and pretend they were never there
You can save yourself a second guess
When it’s all a cycle
Come find these thoughts and pull them out of me
'Cause they’re nothing I have asked for
And sometimes when sleep becomes your enemy
It feels better to dream when the sun is accounted for
'Cause I only wanna let this go
