lyrics

To the Sun

They took the blood from my body
To fuel the machine
It’s got me drained in reality
And in my dreams
The curtain in between
Slowly ripped at the seams
It’s got me saying things that i don’t mean

I’ve been sitting at the table
With the wolves and the kings
And i’ve been blinded by the brightness
Of their diamonds and things
I’ve been grieving for that feeling
That i had but it’s gone
And there’s no looking back
When you’re moving on

They ask me what will you do
And where will you go?
I don’t know but i’m leaving on my bicycle
Cause to make the great escape
You need to have a little faith

My love we’re on the run
From the barrels of a gun
But keep your chin up
Keep your feet moving strong
Cause it’s a long way to the sun

I’ve been given limitation
I’ve been living in fear
And i’ve been wading through the river
For the truth to come clear
I’ve been waiting on the lord
To come and set me free
But when we got to the gates
They had no space for me

So if i’m not gonna make it out
either way
Tell me what’s the use of
Staying sane
I’ve got nothing to lose
By playing the fool
Just like the preacher in the subway
Saying the world will end soon

And if they call you mad
I’m glad to have you on our side
Just lock your eyes to the stars
And all the signs of our times
Just listen to the fire
Let your heart be your guide
Cause there’s no place to hide in the moonlight

My love we’re on the run
From the barrels of a gun
But keep your chin up
Keep your feet moving strong
Cause it’s a long way to the sun
