Despite the Day

[Verse 1]
I was a stranger to these shores
And I love to lose myself
In all its unfamiliar contours
Misery was welcome
It was a paradise for rent
Now it's all too close for comfort
Like it holds me in contempt
Like it holds me in contempt

[Chorus]
All my love, what's there left to learn
If the world don't spin, it starts to burn
The sky turns black, the sun is like a lead balloon
And the only light between us
Yeah, the only light between us
Will come from a fiery mess

[Verse 2]
I live despite another day
Lost count, you got in the way
Long ago I gave up remembering their names
The personal touch only intensifies the pain
It just intensifies the pain

[Chorus]
All my love, what's there left to learn
If the world don't spin, it starts to burn
The sky turns black, the sun is like a lead balloon
And the only light between us
Yeah, the only light between us
Will come from a fiery mess
A fiery mess
The world will burn

All my love, what's there left to learn
If the world don't spin, it starts to burn
The sky turns black, the sun is like a lead balloon
And the only light between us
Yeah, the only light between us
Yeah, the only light between us
Will come from a fiery mess
