Sunburn

I've got a sunburn to peel the daggers off your tongue

Young and dumb I'm rotting like a bed sore

In a cold case that's never gonna be more than scratching at the walls

While you're waiting for a bullet to come

All along I've been treading in the deep end

Throw my mirror in the cupboard for the weekend

Try and put together pieces while I'm dreaming

But nothing's adding up to a thing but a hole in the head

And if I had a dime, for every time that I lost it

I'd buy some piece of mind

This is the time and I've got to let go

Learn to forget everything that I know

Holding on but I keep slipping

This is the place and I'm burning it down

Starting a fire, I can never put out

Try and run but I keep tripping

I've got to shake these visions

I need a firearm to keep me safe in these parts

Dodging weapons that are trained to rip a soft heart

Into pieces that are never gonna be more than scratching at the walls

While you're waiting for the end of the world

Every step I take I learn some things the hard way

Time to cover up my bruises like its ok

Always bury shit the deepest in a hallway

Flashing like a flood, not a thing but a thorn in my side

And if I had a dime, for every time that I lost it

I'd buy some piece of mind

This is the time and I've got to let go

Learn to forget everything that I know

Holding on but I keep slipping

This is the place and I'm burning it down

Starting a fire, I can never put out

Try and run but I keep tripping

I've got to shake these visions

I've got to shake these visions

I know you like my sunburn, it suits me so well, suits me so well

I know you like my sunburn, it suits me so well, suits me so well

This is the time and I've got to let go

Learn to forget everything that I know

Holding on but I keep slipping

This is the place and I'm burning it down

Starting a fire, I can never put out

Try and run but I keep tripping

I've got to shake these visions
