lyrics

V. 1
There’s a light burnt out on the box store sign
Now it just says “art” but we all know that’s a lie
It’s a post for trading plastics when your soul has died
It’s an altar for sacrificing freedom in these trying times

Ch.
And as this world burns around our heads
I'll turn from the flames and look at you instead
I'm so consumed by the light inside of you
The fire outside can't touch me like you do

V. 2
What happens when it turns out every Friday’s black?
I’m content to turn around and not look back
I'm not saying I don't care about the world’s demise
But for over 20 years you’ve kept me mesmerized

V. 3
We'll stand together as the ashes fall like snow
We’ll find eternal comfort as the problems grow
Even in the end, after arm and arm we’ve died
We’ll know we done the things we could to try and stem the tide
