lyrics

I see your black eye, and it’s shades of purple
That reminds me, reminds me of the earth
That reminds me, reminds me of the earth

You came to this fire, waving a lighter
And now you'll burn, you'll burn to your knees
You'll burn, you'll burn to your knees

Outside it’s sunny
Inside it’s dark
I just wish I never knew the name of the spark
The name of the spark

I’ve got the water that you’re craving
But it’s too cold, too cold to be used
I said it's too cold, too cold to be used

Outside it’s sunny
Inside it’s dark
I just wish I never knew the name of the spark
The name of the spark

I’ve got lots of thoughts in my mind
And they attack me all of the time
I’ve got teeth inside of my brain
And they bite down, all of the time

Outside it’s sunny
Inside it’s dark
I just wish I never knew the name of the spark
The name of the spark
