Scorched Earth
I know how to blacken out the sun
I can make the air weigh heavy
My heartbeat smashes like a drum
You’ve had to learn to be ready
I’m forever not one to die wondering
Gonna let you know when I see you bad
Cause my spirit does shudder and drain away
Just you having fun can make me crack
I nail you to a cross on fire
Blame you but it’s me who’s the liar
How long ‘til I put this scorched earth right
I put it on you you’re a sinner
But that’s a lie - a fabrication
My hang ups squirm inside a vice
What’s going to be my salvation?
Gotta face up to my growing up
A family life in a hideaway
I’s a little guy staring up at a roof
How come I never got to laugh and play
Yes I nail you to a cross on fire
Blame you but it’s me who’s the liar
How long ‘til I put this scorched earth right
I got to lay it all out – got to apologise – love you – need you
