lyrics

Yes, I know that the sun it burns
And I can’t look away
I run in place ‘til my feet are bleeding
Moving everyday
You can run, you can kick or fight
Run in place but it just won’t make it right
Yes, I know that the sun it burns me now
And how

Yes, I know that the sun it burns
But I can’t look away
Run in place ‘til my feet are bleeding
Moving everyday
It’s a thrill, cold and vespertine
Put it on, but it just won’t make it mine
Yes, I know that the sun it burns me now
And how

I know the company we keep
I know the memories we seek
Are we fearful of an ordinary man?
I know the company we keep
And your heart is like the ocean
Very deep, and very still
Until it storms, it always will

Yes, I know that my friend is gone
But I can’t look away
Now he hides in a web of lies
So I look to yesterday
Once he cared, but they hooked his mind
It’s somewhere, but it’s just too hard to find
Yes, I know that my friends has gone away
To stay

And your heart is like the ocean
Very deep, and very still
Until it storms, it always will
Cause until it’s up it’s all down hill
And I know that you’re somewhere

And your heart is like the ocean
Very deep and very still
And your friend is like a shark
Who’s waiting silently to kill
And he will
