Thursday - Sparks Against the Sun lyrics

On and off the cinders burn With the fading heat of youth And the sun slips below the treeline Just out of view Back and forth across the sky The stars are hanging from a wire Machine guns still firing in the corners of our eyes But in the light of day we'll disappear Just like little sparks against the sun No one remembers where they begin Or where we end In and out the days escape the damages of dawn Still our dreams lie in broken pieces resting on the lawn But in the light of day we'll disappear Just like little sparks against the sun No one remembers where they begin Or where we end The first step's got me lying on the floor By the second step I hear a knocking at the door Three: I put my life in your hands By the fourth step how much light is left Five, six, seven - I can see my dark and the harm I've done I've left my mark Eight, nine, ten - I'll take it back again Eleven, twelve: I'm putting fires out in hell
