Sun
Dr. Legalize Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dirt and mountains, I'm surrounded
And it seems there's no way out
Lizards run by, roots are so dry
And I just can't even shout
Drying up here, this is my fear
I would leave, I don't know how
Sights are hazy, feeling lazy
It must be the lethargy
Sun is beaming, must be dreaming
But out here, it's anarchy
Vultures swoon over their food
The desert takes its toll on me
I long to get some rest
To ease this pressure in my chest
Out here is a loaded gun
Drying in the heat of the sun
Losing effort, broken record
Saying the same things again
Day after day, things never change
And it feels like it's the end
Lamb to slaughter, need some water
And the hours start to blend
Someone save me, going crazy
And there are no tourists here
One and only, feeling lonely
And there's no one to hold dear
Never agile, roots are fragile
And I've lost all of my cheer
I long to get some rest
To ease this pressure in my chest
Out here is a loaded gun
Drying in the heat of the sun
I long to get some rest
To ease this pressure in my chest




Out here is a loaded gun
Drying in the heat of the sun
