Shining like a piece of coal
I’m empty but I overflow
The blind sun beats down on me
Falling with my feet on the ground
I’m screaming but I make no sound
The blinding sun beats on me
(pre chorus)
And I’m out of things to do
Yes, I’m out of things to do
(chorus)
So I crawl right back to you
And you welcome me home
Yes, you welcome me home
Then I crawl right back to you
I’m by myself but I’m not alone
Never alone
I’m fighting while I’m paralyzed
I’m dying but I’m still alive
The blind sun beats down on me
Speaking with nothing to say
Meaningless words in the way
The blinding sun beats on me
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Never alone
(bridge)
And you that no man can run
And it won’t be long for me
Every day I fall away I come undone
And it’s all that can do
To keep aiming toward you
And nowhere else feels the same
‘Cause you made my heart this way
Chorus
