Sunburned

[Instrumental] [Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff starts, fuzzy tone] [drums enter with driving kick and crashing hi-hats] (Verse 1) Lanolin skin and the scent of a drain Scrape back the wax from a hollowed-out brain The doctor is in with a rusted-out tool He’s teaching a class for a specialized fool I’m eating the marrow, I’m shedding the husk A biological clock that’s stuck in the dusk [Main Section] [distorted bass guitar enters, doubling the guitar riff] [steady snare on beats 2 and 4] [guitar continues repetitive syncopated power chord progression] (Chorus) Bury the fever Under the sink Give me a reason To not have to think It’s a chemical peace It’s a sterile release [distorted electric guitar riff starts, fuzzy tone] [drums enter with driving kick and crashing hi-hats] (Verse 2) The wallpaper peels like a sunburned back The ceiling is white but the corners are black I’m growing a wing where a lung used to be A physical debt that’s owed back to me The anatomy chart is a map of my shame I’ve forgotten the face, I’ve forgotten the name [Main Section] [distorted bass guitar enters, doubling the guitar riff] [steady snare on beats 2 and 4] [guitar continues repetitive syncopated power chord progression] (Chorus) Bury the fever Under the sink Give me a reason To not have to think It’s a chemical peace It’s a sterile release (Bridge)(Screamed/Distorted) Wait for the signal! The marrow is dry! The signal is broken! The marrow is dry! Dry! Dry! [Main Section] [distorted bass guitar enters, doubling the guitar riff] [steady snare on beats 2 and 4] [guitar continues repetitive syncopated power chord progression] (Chorus) Bury the fever Under the sink Give me a reason To not have to think It’s a chemical peace It’s a sterile release [Outro] [guitar riff sustains on final chord] [drums end with a final kick and hi-hat crash] I’m sorry for the mess. I’m sorry for the weight. I’m sorry for the guests. Who arrived too late. (Feedback fades out)
