Sunstep

[Verse #1]

It's a common theme. The world is monotone and mean

It's grown into a full-blown bag of bones that holds reserves of self-esteem

And it's worse to melt a dream away with nothing there to replace it with

Smashed hopes never heal and when it peels away, his faith is stripped

The paces trip the walk and talk is cheap but still in stock

Public outrage screams for justice, looting shops and killing cops

The wheels can't stop because it's downhill and the music's up to loud

Fingers plug their ears, now shouts rang out and reason's not allowed

Believers got to proud 'cause we held the magic backstage passes

Now they act like fascists, blocking all the gates to heavenly access

And that's just when the package has no doorstep left to land on

Blacklisted seekers wander wondering what it means to be transformed

They can't see because the pastor's lingo wasn't made for their people

White-collar congregation makes contributions to his ego

And it's evil and it hurts and it tears us all apart

And I swear a man can blind you with the blackness in his heart

The shattered parts of speech are hard to reach in times of need

The cuts are deep, but I can't bleed unless I think it helps you see

I'll stand against oppression although they claim it sets me free

'Cause even when I'm speaking life I know that death is deaf to me..

[Hook]

Gather in together where the sky meets the basement

Gotta make the world a better place where you take it

Face to the sunrise, feet to the basement

Walk everybody, just walk, walk

Gather in together where the sky meets the basement

Gotta make the world a better place where you take it

Face to the sunrise, feet to the basement

Walk everybody just walk, walk...(Repeat)

[Bridge]

Go for the uprise, huddled in the playground

Cuddle the women and kids. Tell 'em to stay down

Fellowship with anybody willing to work

Then sell a bit of land between heaven and Earth

Catalog the converts. Carry cross for the crippled

Bury every soul that falls anywhere inside the middle

Bang your head against the backdrop. Block out the bad thoughts

Cut out the trash talk, ready for the blast off

Bang your head against the backdrop. Block out the bad thoughts

Cut out the trash talk, ready for the blast off

Bang your head against the backdrop. Block out the bad thoughts

Cut out the trash talk, ready for the blast off..

[Verse #2]

I wanna be a better man. I wanna strip the flesh from spirit

I wanna write the songs that people sing that inspire them to be fearless

Never changing my appearance for moments edited and altered

Full of awkward things to say today for the lucky seventh caller

I've considered every offer on its merits before I refused it

And that's mainly on the basis of their generic brand of two-cents

If there's land beneath the cruise ship, then it's time to rock the boat

If your label is a nuisance, then it's time to let 'em go

If it's time for execution, make sure to protect your throat

If you're losing your grip, hold tight to the end of the rope

If you're broken or you're broke, take a breath and count your blessings slow

It's feast or famine. Sometimes you starve, sometimes you choke

Sometimes you think, sometimes you know

Sometimes you pay, sometimes you owe

Sometimes it burns a hole inside but you're too proud to let it show

Reap or sow, keep breathing slow because we need to know the difference

There's a time to walk on the sun, but there's a time to keep your distance..
