Lyrics
Hard Sun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The city lights flick to display
bang there goes another day
The believers in the basement
they are singing songs about a way
reborn and regenerate
but none of this communicates to me
Up here on the second floor
I've forgotten what I'm waiting for
A friend, a brother, mother, woman
maybe
but I have all these in the sulphate
emotionless and considerate
to me
And it's a hard sun
a hard sun that
's been beating on my back
it's a hard sun
that shines it's light on me
it's a hard sun
a hard sun that
's been beating on my back
it's a hard sun
that shines it's light on me
The silver clock chimes off again
reminds me of my childhood pain
And the burden that was lifted
when I made it to the city
disillusioned and full of hate
but a member of the mother state and free
At empty walls I sit and stare
I sense a feeling in the air
In the throws of thought I wonder
can I make it on my own
but, deep down in my heart I known
that I ain't never, ever going home
And it's a hard sun
a hard sun that
's been beating on my back
it's a hard sun
that shines it's light on me
it's a hard sun
a hard sun that
's been beating on my back
And it's a hard sun
that shines it's light on me
