New Sun on my Skin

[Intro] Tick the lock Pack the throat One small bag And a dead-map note [Verse 1] I left my boots by the sink Left my name on the door Your handprint on my sleeve Still burning like before The kettle hissed in the hall Like a warning in code I watched the screen go pale Then I chose the road [Pre-Chorus] If the sky breaks open I’m going through If the ground keeps calling I’m not coming back to you [Chorus] Take me to another solar system Take me to another solar system I want a new sun on my skin I want a new sun on my skin [Verse 2] By the fence line I counted scars On the hull and on my hands Dust on the dashboard glass Like the end of inland sand Your voice in the burner phone Said stay, but I can’t I saw a red world turning Like a fist in the dark [Pre-Chorus] If the sky breaks open I’m going through If the ground keeps calling I’m not coming back to you [Chorus] Take me to another solar system Take me to another solar system I want a new sun on my skin I want a new sun on my skin [Bridge] I don’t need a ghost-town heart I don’t need the same old air I need miles of cold and fire I need something waiting there Past the static, past the frost Past the bones of what we knew I’ll be gone before dawn And I’ll bloom somewhere new [Chorus] Take me to another solar system Take me to another solar system I want a new sun on my skin I want a new sun on my skin
