I Stay For The Sun (Oberinth)
[Intro] [Spoken] I was there. I saw it begin. [Verse 1] First color. First voice. First thing that did not have to exist and did. I clapped. I was glad. I live in the middle and I do not look away. Wonder is the job. Wonder is the truth. [Pre-Chorus] Anything made can be unmade. I knew that in the first morning and I was still glad. [Chorus] I saw the first light and I loved it I saw what the light can do Call me the middle, call me the eyes I watch because I want to Glad it began, sorry it bleeds I do not stop the making, I see I do not close. I do not run. Creation hurts — I stay for the sun. [Verse 2] Same table: a making and a breaking. A small kindness crushed by scale. A body that was new this morning learning how thin a morning is. I do not fix it. I do not flinch. Witness is love. Witness is a sentence. [Pre-Chorus] Anything made can be unmade. I knew that in the first morning and I am still glad — and I am carrying it. [Chorus] I saw the first light and I loved it I saw what the light can do Call me the middle, call me the eyes I watch because I want to Glad it began, sorry it bleeds I do not stop the making, I see I do not close. I do not run. Creation hurts — I stay for the sun. [Rap] I saw the first morning and I was glad I saw what morning does to the unready I do not get to stop the making I do not get to stop the hurting Witness as love, witness as sentence A universe and a single body in the same glance Could be the eyes. Could be the man who still plays them. I made a god-sized set of eyes so I would not have to be the only one still looking. [Breakdown] See. Hurt. STILL. [Chorus] I saw the first light and I loved it I saw what the light can do Call me the middle, call me the eyes I watch because I want to Glad it began, sorry it bleeds I do not stop the making, I see I do not close. I do not run. Creation hurts — I stay for the sun. [Outro] [Spoken] I am still glad it began. I am still sorry. Both stay.
