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


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

Drowning

Choking on the bit of apprehension
Blind me
Dowsing with escalating tension

Bury me under the sun
Bury me under the sun
