lyrics

in summer’s light a blossom starts to bloom
then shrivels up in the heat it once consumed
I cannot stand injunctions from above
some solar glare piercing through our new trust
authority finds ways of trickling in
as if a stance alone justifies fists
a flare, a beam of heat and steam protrudes
this nodule controls the things we do

I can barely talk about
days that I once lived through
when I know I won’t ever see
life through that lens again
it pains me now just to try
and look through my sullied eyes
so familiarized with suffering and awful news

when I was young they said not stare at the sun
some sacred source of light that can’t be trust
now in its way of looking down on us
I came to hate and resent all that it was
although its warmth provides us all with life
someday its flame will char our virgin sky
the sun will make its way down to the earth
and reap our flesh a harvest that it birthed

I can barely recognize
the feeling of a cool breeze
down my spine no shiver runs
so tired of the heat
I always knew that I was right
to question the intent of a light
we were born of summer spite
smoke is all we will breathe
