I the Mighty - Hiding From The Sun lyrics

With respiratory responses
I'll bridge the gap from one
Breath to the next let me sink
I'll find oxygen unnecessary my lungs
They no longer need the air from way up there
I'll find peace amongst these sunken ships
And bones that kissed away their prior skins
Well, they could not adapt
The potent hit of salt has lost it's sting
Inside my chest and with this
Breath I am home

And though it's neurotic to run
From a cancer-born love
The undulating blue will keep my
Mind from thoughts of you
As I'm hiding from the sun

The moon has put the sun to sleep
As I rise to the surface to
Attain my night on the town
My feet will touch dry land again
As I break down and sink into the sand
Underground
But here their eyes all read resent and
I dig my way back up
Before they get the chance to waste a drug
Oh, but the city lights are much too bright
And my eyes they paralyze
And dilate to compensate

And though it's neurotic to run
From a cancer born love
The undulating blue will keep my
Mind from thoughts of you
As I'm hiding from the sun

I can't live in between
I must choose an extreme
A years worth of metaphors
Couldn't find a meaning
I'll, I'll invite the infection through
Skin cells and chromosomes
Bones that grow hallow no marrow to decompose
I suppose, I suppose
I suppose I can never grow old
But these pirates and sunken ships
They're alive once the day is dead
And they don't forget, they don't forget
They don't forget
And one says to me, "My friend, re-invent
What you thought was dead because
We have our fun" yeah, we had our fun as I
Was hiding from the sun
