[Instrumental Intro] (Sparse, distorted guitar feedback) [Verse 1] (Low, husky whisper) I drag my shadow down the black-top vein Count the teeth of every passing face They wear their grins like a heavy chain Am I a ghost? Or just taking up space? (Guttural growl) I’m taking up space. [Chorus] (Sudden explosive energy) Oh, the sun is a white-hot hole in the sky And I’m wide awake, watching the world go by Don’t you dare get in my way I’ve got a debt that I have to pay (Shouted) God, don't get in my way! [Verse 2] (Sultry, rhythmic) I peel the sky back just to feel the heat The wind is a tongue, licking the street I’ve forgotten the taste of a simple care There’s a salt-heavy weight in the summer air (Deep breath) I can’t breathe the air. [Bridge] (Building tension, frantic rhythm) The dirt is deep, the water is cold I’m digging for something I wasn’t told Push the needle, break the skin (High soprano shriek) LET THE LIGHT COME HOWLING IN! LET IT IN! [Chorus] (Gritty and powerful) Oh, the sun is a white-hot hole in the sky And I’m wide awake, watching the world go by Don’t you dare get in my way I’ve got a debt that I have to pay Don't get in my way. [Outro] (Mantra-like, fading into distortion) The light is coming. The light is heavy. (Sarcastic whisper) Yeah, it’s a beautiful day... (Distorted laughter) ...nothing’s in my way. [End]
