Kill the Sun Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well time keeps knocking me on my back

I don't know how much I have left

But is this year over yet?

Feels more and more like I'm trapped

My heart keeps beating like a drum

Won't quit until my body's done

What a harbor I've become

I never know what's enough



[Pre-Chorus]

Or where to start

You don't have to tell me



[Chorus]

Don't hold your breath for me

I'll be back before the morning comes

You don't have to worry

We don't quit til the bottle's done

Don't burn a light for me

I won't leave until paying up

And if the dawn's early

I'll have to kill the rising sun



[Verse 2]

Life is a race against the light

I'll tighten two grips on the night

Don't try to tell me I'm alright

When I still groan with appetite

[Pre-Chorus]

And don't know where to start

You don't have to tell me



[Chorus]

Don't hold your breath for me

I'll be back before the morning comes

You don't have to worry

We don't quit til the bottle's done

Don't burn a light for me

I won't leave until paying up

And if the dawn's early

I'll have to kill the rising sun



[Bridge]

In spite of all your love

You fear what I become

If this is killing me you can't be the one to tell me

The shadow on your mind is growing all the time

If this is killing me you can't be the one to tell me

I just want you to know

I finally can let this go



[Chorus]

Don't hold your breath for me

I'll be back before the morning comes

You don't have to worry

We don't quit til the bottle's done

Don't burn a light for me

I won't leave until paying up

And if the dawn's early

I'll have to kill the rising sun

[Outro]

I'll have to kill the rising sun

I'll have to kill the rising sun
