[Verse 1] Eyes wide open On the cracked floor Your shadow leans Across my door The room is hollow Like a warning sign I count the cracks And call them mine [Pre-Chorus] Say it low Say it plain I know your name I know that strain No place to hide No slow escape You pull the day Into its shape [Chorus] Tyrant sun Tyrant sun Burning on my tongue Tyrant sun Tyrant sun I wake up to dread [Verse 2] The window shakes With your hard gold The air goes thin And the hours fold My hands are pale My pulse is loud I move like smoke Through a poisoned crowd [Pre-Chorus] Say it low Say it plain I know your name I know that strain No place to hide No slow escape You pull the day Into its shape [Chorus] Tyrant sun Tyrant sun Burning on my tongue Tyrant sun Tyrant sun I wake up to dread [Bridge] If night won't come Then I won't kneel I'll learn the shape Of what is real Eyes wide open Let it sting I keep my breath I keep my skin [Chorus] Tyrant sun Tyrant sun Burning on my tongue Tyrant sun Tyrant sun I wake up to dread
