SUNDOWN Lyrics

This thing of skin and air

Chained to time and sorrows of tomorrow

While life can burn in blood

It still recoils from the afterglow

It's a fully human act

The worst of us, the last of us

Try to drive away the beast

But it comes back, always comes back

Clap your hands for the gravestones

Clap your hands for the fertilised earth

Clap your hands for the little white lies

Clap your hands for the nothing, all we were

Clap your hands for the gravestones

Clap your hands for the fertilised earth

Clap your hands for the little white lies

Clap your hands for the nothing, all we were

Break the smile out, time to see our friends

Set the liquor out and I can pretend

'Til the sun goes down and the wolves come out

And the searing doubt and the crushing drought

Nothing ever changes

I live this meaningful lie

The moth batters itself to death against the light

Am I the moth or the bulb

It's a fully human act

The worst of us, the last of us

Try to drive away the beast

But it comes back, always comes back

Clap your hands for the gravestones

Clap your hands for the fertilised earth

Clap your hands for the little white lies

Clap your hands for the nothing, all we were

Clap your hands for the gravestones

Clap your hands for the fertilised earth

Clap your hands for the little white lies

Clap your hands for the nothing, all we were

Break the smile out, time to see our friends

Set the liquor out and I can pretend

'Til the sun goes down and the wolves come out

And the searing doubt and the crushing drought

Clap your hands for the gravestones

Clap your hands for the fertilised earth

Clap your hands for the little white lies

Clap your hands for the nothing, all we were

Break the smile out, time to see our friends

Set the liquor out and I can pretend

'Til the sun goes down and the wolves come out

And the searing doubt and the crushing drought
