lyrics

Well I spent all damn day in the hot hot sun
With a straight jacket, a rose and an unforgiving tongue

And I dug deep down to the core of this life
To the edge of this condition in the early morning light

And the deepest darkest part of this cold dead mess
Is the beauty all around me I hope I never forget

What it felt like to breathe and the pains of becoming
I would color myself tortured in a veil of suffering

How the terror cloaked all of the white washed lies
All the sympathy and sadness that I blacked out from my eyes

Smoke swallows up the sky in the hot hot sun
Let it wash away my sorrow and the wreck I could become

Well it’s alright now
Someday we will radiate
It’s the road and not the destination that you truly crave

And the pale blue moon
with its secrets stuck inside
Will always have a choice to glow or hide behind the tide

Well it’s alright

And David felt secure oh yeah and man did he get saved
And the lord was his shepherd through the valley of the grave

When he cried out to the clouds begging mercy for his sin
He realized that the Holy Ghost was just a voice inside his head

Every tragedy erased and all the waters calm and still
By the time he praised to glory he still had to pay his bills
