Sunburn

I cannot write this song yet
The words are still arriving
They’re concentrating on surviving
The time between now and past surrender
A thousand days later
The sound still forms a crater on your name
And suddenly, upon my hair
I wear the ocean and I
Cast my knot upon the waves
Suddenly, I feel the fire
Of the sun on my skin
So I walk on and hope my soul ignites
My sweat finds its way to where the water flows
Your philosophy beside me
But different secrets guide me this time
As my body leaves itself behind
We are always dust
It’s just more obvious this way
And suddenly, upon my hair
I wear the ocean and I
Cast my knot upon the waves
Suddenly, I feel the fire
Of the sun on my skin
So I walk on and hope my soul ignites
And I will never know static complacency
Or restlessness ignored
I will never see what it means to love you
Unobtrusively, or quietly prepared
Suddenly, upon my hair
I wear the ocean and I
Cast my knot upon the waves
Suddenly, I feel the fire
Of the sun on my skin
So I walk on and hope my soul ignites
