[Skin Off The Sun]



i would rip the skin off the sun

i would throw the moon out of sight

just to make the earth go still

just to make it remember this night



because i'll never forget it

because i'll never forget it



i would shock the world with an outage

take the power away from every outlet

spill all the oil off the coast of mars

let it spill all over the stars



i'd make it darker then they've ever seen

so we'll all be on even terms

then maybe they'll start to squirm

then maybe they'll start to see my hurt



because i'll never forget it

because i'll never forget it



i'll never forget it..



i'd make it darker then they've ever seen

then maybe they'll start to see my pain

leave them only to see as far as their hearts

then maybe they'll start to feel my hurt



because i'll never forget it

because i'll never forget it



but they'd never get it....



[To The Ground]



you caught my eye,

as you crossed the street

all those self portraits

and letters,

and we'd finally meet



you could have knocked me off my feet

if you didn't beat me..

to the ground



you said goodbye,

as i held your head

never said hello

and you were dead

as i was dragged away



it ripped the skin off my feet

but i couldn't let you bleed...

on the ground

but i couldn't let you bleed...

on the ground



you caught their ire,

their evil eyeing

all of that hatred

for skin shades

and a bullet with trained aim



and all that those men are good for

taking you for their war...

to the ground



{i would rip the skin off the sun

i would throw the moon out of sight

just to make the earth go still

just to make it remember this night



because i'll never forget it

because i'll never forget it}



i'd told you we'd

break right through the mold

now they've got me strapped,

and wired

but i won't cause more death



tell me i was right to believe

god this won't bring you...

with the breeze



honey please..come back...



rise up with the endless dead

bring the never knelt

to beg for mercy

take their fleets away

and give them care again



and stay...
