A continent and seven hours away
And still I recall a simpler day
The sun never ever sets here
And it's burning my lies alive
For under the cover of darkness there is no longer a single lie
Down here there's no more room
For anything but well-bent truth
[Chorus:]
Bury me under the sun, I'm drowning
Wipe away all that I say, blind me
Bury me under the sun
Bury me under the sun
The widows watch is then blinded
And I've been away so long
Perpetual isolation
The knots in its rope have come undone
The doors are closed, she's changed the locks
Judgement's passed, set in stone
Put it up and burn to ash rebuild this broken home
[Chorus]
Drowning
Choking on the bit of apprehension
Blind me
Dowsing with escalating tension
Bury me under the sun
Bury me under the sun
When nothing's left but cold silence
Only smoking words and dust
Echoes scream of the past earning you more distrust
Apologize to calloused ears
A desert of dusty tears
A flock of crows on my plate
Taste the words I should have had
The words I should have had
The words I should have
A continent and seven hours away
And still I yearn for simpler days
The sun never sets here
And it's burning my lies alive
For under the cover of darkness there is no longer a single lie
Down here there is no more room
For anything but well-bent truth
[Chorus]
