Battle for the Sun lyrics

Cenicero, mi cenicero
Mi corazón, mi cenicero
X2

You are the birth and you are waste
You are the one who took my place
You took a jump into forever
A leap of faith I could not take

And it was
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make

Cenicero, mi cenicero
My ashtray heart

I, I, I, will battle for the sun, sun, sun.

And I, I, I wont stop until I'm done, done, done.

You, you, you are getting in the way, way, way.

And I, I, I have nothing left to say, say, say.

I, I, I, I, I will brush off all the dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt.

And I, I, I, I, I will pretend it didn't hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt.

Here comes another fall from grace,
I'm always falling on my face.
This attitude that I embrace,
With a love I'm trying to replace.
Try to kill this song,
'Cause the melody's all wrong.
And there's a feaver, comin' on.

It's hard to reconcile,
What I've become.
With the wounded ch-i-ld,
Hiding deep ins-i-yide.

Breathe underwater,
I'm comin' up for air!

Cast your mind back to the days,
When I pretend' I was OK.
I had so very much to say,
About my crazy livin'.
Now that I've stared into the void,
So many people, I've annoyed.
I have to find a middle way,
A better way of livin'.

So I haven't given up,
That all my choices, my good luck...
Appear to go and get me stuck,
In an open prison.
Now I am tryin' to break free,

You don't know how you're coming across
You don't know what you're coming across
You don't know who you're coming across
You don't know how you're coming across
So you come undone

You don't know how you're coming across
Acting like you don't give a toss
Walking around like you're on some kind of cross
And it's a shame on you, the irony's lost

I've been wasting all my time
With the devil in the details
And I got no energy to fight
He's a fucking pantomime
The devil in the details

He's fixing up to take a bite
I don't see the point in trying
I got the devil in the details
And he's gonna teach me wrong from right
That fucking pantomime
The devil in the details
Well, I'm gonna dance with him tonight

All of my wrongs

The end of the century
I said my goodbyes
For what it's worth

I always aim to please
But I nearly died
For what it's worth

Come on lay with me
Caus I'm on fire
For what it's worth

I tear the sun in three
To light up your eyes
For what it's worth [4x]

Broke up the family
Everybody cry
For what it's worth

I have a slow disease
That sucked me dry
For what it's worth

Breathe me

Everytime you close your eyes

Taste me

Every time you cry

This memory will fade away and die

Just for today

Breathe me and say goodbye

[Chorus]

How many times?

How many times?

Now I can't look you in the eye

Now I can't look you in the eye

How many times?

How many times?

Now I can't look you in the eye

See me

In the eyes of mother's child

Turn away

The payback is here
Take a look, it's all around you
You thought you'd never she'd a tear
So this must astound, must confound you

Buy a ticket for the train
Hide in a suitcase if you have to
This ain't no singing in the rain
This is a twister that will destroy you

You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide

They're pickin' up pieces of me,

While they're pickin' up pieces of you.

In a bag you will be, before the day is over.

Were you looking for somewhere to be.

Or looking for someone to do.

Stupid me, to believe that I could trust in stupid you.

And on the back of my hand,

Were, directions I could understand.

Now that old buzzard Johnny Walker,

Has gone and ruined all our plans.

The way you're dancing

Makes me come alive

Makes me shiver and perspire

Your surreptitious glancing

The way you crack a smile

Nearly start a fire

So move closer

Want to feel your touch

So come over

Come on

Love of mine

This fortress in our hearts

Feels much weaker

Now we're apart

Love of mine

This fortress in our hearts

Comes crashing down

The atom will implode

The fragile kingdom fall

The tremor becomes a quake

There's a body in the lake

And as the two of us rebel

Damn you all to hell

I wonder if that's all there is

Time will help you through

But it doesn't have the time

To give you all the answers to the never-ending why

The sound of silence grows

As spiders kissing fly

And the tumor becomes a rhyme

Kitty came back home from on the island
But kitty came on home without a name
She and me's a history for violence
So I long, I burn to touch her just the same

So we both can both can speak in tongues
So we both can both can speak in tongues

Every single sense in me is heightened
There's nothing left inside to rearrange
Like a slave to history and science
