Lyrics for Sun Burns

Came up to the surface I cannot remember how long I've been swimming Drowning 'Cause I've grown accustomed to all of the sharks And they're not really breathing Uh huh Now I won't just mind the gap, I'll fill it If I'm gonna eat this mosquito of anger I haven't really made the most of this life From here on I'll spit back whatever don't taste right One time I told my heart to shut up But I know that I can win back her trust I owe at least that much to the both of us Developed a knack for this dull conversation I'd sharpen my wit, but what's my motivation? Don't need to be clever to tell you that I'm just A total mess and that I must throw that old self away If I don't get right now I will always Eat what's decayed Sleep with the snakes here in this cold grave I haven't really made the most of this life From here on I'll spit back whatever don't taste right One time I told my heart to shut up But I know that I can win back her trust I owe at least that much to the both of us I was waiting (Waiting) For this to happen to happen to me But nothing's happening I feel my skin as the sun burns in And something in me says let it 'Cause one more look might change it all One more word might change it all One more try might change it all One more kiss might change it all One more look might change it all
