lyrics

Sunbaking
Back in pain and
High on the sands
In the pouring rain

Not faking
Just a giant throbbing ache
Connected to hands
Lying in wait

I'm awake
And drifting off
Rotting the guts
And feeling soft

I can't take it
Lifting the weight of
Being stuck in a rut
Drifting aloft

Sun is warm on my back
Lessens the hurt of this attack

Vicious cycle
Robbed by time
And the natural flow
Of the scraping grind

A daily hike will
Slow the crime
But can't stop it, no
From peeling back the rind

Panic wins out
At the threshold
Of losing the war
So take holds

Take the pin out
And all the hand-holds
Fall to the floor
And shatter in cold

Sun is warm on my back
Lessens the hurt of this attack

Pray for mercy
Pray for comfort
But the beat goes on
Drumming and drummer

Lay there cursing
Pay for something
Just to be nursing
A wound made of nothing

Sun is warm on my back
Lessens the hurt of this attack
