Blackout Sun

Blackout Sun

Morning drags its rusted chain
Across a skull that won’t feel pain
Mirror stares but nothing’s there
Just hollow eyes and borrowed air

Heartbeat steady, soul on mute
Living life in a heavy suit

Chorus
Blackout sun above my head
Burns no warmth, just paints me dead
Walking tall but sinking fast
Future’s gone, I’m stuck in past

Crowds move loud, I move slow
Every laugh an afterglow
Words come out like broken glass
Cutting nothing as they pass

Rage once lived behind my teeth
Now just dust beneath the grief

Chorus
Blackout sun above my head
Burns no warmth, just paints me dead
Walking tall but sinking fast
Future’s gone, I’m stuck in past

No scream left, no fight to wage
Just a body pacing a quiet cage
War inside with no front line
Enemy looks just like mine

Breakdown
Numb. and I can’t feel the fall
Numb. like I’m nothing at all

Final Chorus
Blackout sun above my head
Burns no warmth, just paints me dead
Still I move through ash and air
Waiting to remember care

If there’s a spark beneath this stone
It’s buried deep. and I walk alone.
