Planets & Stars

Tyler
Sweigert

The rain falls from cooler skies on your cocoon
The things you own end up owning you
Buying back the soap extracted from your skin

So where's your place?
I was driving around in circles
No one would answer the door and it was broken down

Any way out
Burned your hand with acid did you?
Trying to deal with the pain
Any way out
Burned your hand with acid did you?
Paying the price can't be paid

He goes to work with a blackened eye
He never sleeps as much as he thinks he does
He travels everywhere

Arctic Circle

You look at every sunset like it's the last one
You'll never forget

When you walk away from hazards
Turn your back before they turn you down
A crooked mile of steps move under your feet
and the sand is shifting

You look at every sunset like it's the last one
you'll never forget

Your epitaph is a strange obsession
a blank slate with a reservation
Your mind is wandering
while your greatest moment
is unfolding in front of your eyes

The ocean's waves receding
all the things you thought were best
Your journey's taken you much longer than
you ever would have bet
You look at every sunset like it's the last one
you'll never forget.
