letra de sunlight - dizraeli

[verse 1]
why does he walk the river?
maybe he k!lled a man
he stops, looks at his filthy hands
and keeps walking
the kid is an alien, listen
he lives in an age of foolery
it isn’t his aim to fit in
maybe the river’s his way to forget
maybe the kiddy is walking
because he is strange in the cortex
maybe the thing he’s after
swims in the water there
dragging its body in weeds and algae
using a straw for air
he looks, something moves
he looks at his hands again
a jogger that’s dragging a dog hard
jogs past and yanks the chain
hеr earpods blocking the sounds of life as it dies scrеaming
she drags her dog off in the flat white evening
the kiddy observes
his eyes filling with dirt and grief
he sees a riot coming
sees bodies that hurt and bleed
sees fractions
splitting to further fractions
a child dies screaming
a preacher with a wild eye preaching
on the ruins of an airport in a hot dry hungry
so he walks until the town comes country
and the river runs quicker
but deep, clean, darker
and he walks beneath trees, a little calmer
until at last where a warehouse is swallowed by the weeds
he stops, sits among ’em and breathes
and breathes
[chorus]
i don’t feel like i’m dying when i’m side-by-side with you
feel something liven in my intestines for you
so hold me tight and i will risk my life for you
just gimme one night to forget the danger outside

[instrumental interlude]

[verse 2]
“it isn’t madness, it’s a world war”, he says
a war the world fed and which my mind has made
the war that rages frantic in asylum greys
and when i close my eyes it rises in a tidal wave
it’s made of guns and mischief
it’s made of bl–dy hands
that bang the glass while i am lying
trying hard to understand
the sense of any given day
world war bristling in my thickened veins
wind that whips and rain that inundates
i feel too mad much for this real so numb me
i feel too keenly for this c-nt of a country
that i love
cuts its sons’ tear ducts before they reach p-b-rty
where love’s a dog we beat brutally and drag to die
prophets strung up
margins maximised
refugees drowning in the damp divide
i see and hear it all
it all is swelling in my lower throat
i wrap a scarf around it, b-ttoning my overcoat
and walking as far as any can from streets and storefronts
along the river where the trees are crowding and the mud is wet
and i will walk until decay claims my organs
and exhaustion draws me down and every sun has set
’cause…
[chorus]
i don’t feel like i’m dying when i’m side-by-side with you
feel something liven in my intestines for you
so hold me tight and i will risk my life for you
just gimme one night to forget the danger outside
i don’t feel like i’m dying when i’m side-by-side with you
the light looks fine and vibrant when we’re thigh-to-thigh, it’s true
so hold me tight and i will risk my life for you
just gimme one night to forget the danger outside

[instrumental interlude]

[verse 3]
“call me stranger”, she says, “but i am into you”
your eyeses have a hidden moon
that rises when you’re grinning
you are winning, ba-ba-ba-ba, you’re a fanfare
whatever weirdness thickens in your insides and drags you down
i am a frightened little infant too
pikachu
with various disguises that i don as armour
here, take my arm
you are a queer warm stunner
and as pleasing as an onomatopoeia
warm is what i’m after
the cool kids can do a runner now
let’s snuggle up and hunker down
while the world coming like
scenes from bacurau
and grief swings in unannounced
at least let’s have a stark nude wrestle
and then lie fragrantly
stinking of pheromones and ancient cheese
chuckling
from now until the tea light’s guttering
my lover lover, stay with me
from now until the tea light’s guttering
my lover, lover, lover, stay with me
’cause i’m telling you i
[chorus]
i don’t feel like i’m dying when i’m side-by-side with you
feel something liven in my intestines for you
so hold me tight and i will risk my life for you
just gimme one night to forget the danger outside
i don’t feel like i’m dying when i’m side-by-side with you
the light looks fine and vibrant when we’re thigh-to-thigh, it’s true
so hold me tight and i will risk my life for you
and give me one night to forget the danger outside
the danger

[outro]
sunlight
it’s real sunlight
it’s real sunlight
it’s real sunlight
it’s real sunlight
oh, sunlight
it’s really sunlight
