This is an ode to me and Mattie’s relationship with booze. We struggle together in this. We have a pretty codependent relationship both with each other and alcohol. This song taps into that codependency.
[Intro]
In the morning before anybody wake up
I be swimmin' in the liquor like a Mako
Tryna get a taste of this good life
Tryna get a glimpse of the Savior
Don't you know the truth is elusive?
Once you hunt for it you lose it
In the morning before anybody wake up
I be swimmin' in the liquor like a Mako, I
(Glued to a brand like a baby on a breast
Glued to a brand like a baby on a breast)
In the morning before anybody wake up
I be swimmin' in the liquor like a Mako
Tryna' get a taste of this good life
Tryna' slip in bed with my Saviour
Is this all there is to a fire?
Liquor and sex til I'm tired?
In the morning before anybody wake up
I be swimmin' in the liquor like a Mako
[Chorus]
Orange sun, heal me (I want the)
Orange sun, heal me (I want the)
Orange sun, heal me (I want the)
Orange sun, heal me (I feel)
[Verse 1]
I only consider the state of things
When I'm not trying to think
Or when I sing or drink: clink, clink, clink
A blurry divide between day and night
Dark and light, wrong and right
Say, "Goodbye," dark circles under my eyes
I'm always spun like the hands on a clock
Lookin' like I am what I'm not
Elegant decay, I celebrate the day
With a little bit of juice on rocks
Glued, glued, glued, glued to a brand like a baby on a breast
Married to a habit like a martyr to his death
We made it to the sunrise, yes, baby, yes
We get up and scream so loudly, we get up and scream so proudly
The end of a Disney movie, the base of a purple drink
The face of a circle thinks all in terms of eternal space
And I have nocturnal traits, and she is the light of day
I be where my conscience be (Bleed like an ego bleeds)
Breathe like believers breathe (Die like a dog dies)
Get in tune with the time of day that I love
When the moon gives way to the flames of the sun
[Verse 2]
Oh, yeah, I know
What its like to mix faith with hot air
And I hoped
When I found my stride you'd be there
But for now, for now
But for now, my level head sleeps gently in a flask
(Get in tune with the time of day that I love)
Or in a glass
(When the moon gives way to the flames of the sun)
[Chorus]
Orange sun, heal me (I want the)
Orange sun, heal me (I want the)
Orange sun, heal me (I want the)
Orange sun, heal me (I feel)
[Outro]
In the morning before anybody wake up
I be swimmin' in the liquor like a Mako
Tryna get a taste of this good life
Tryna get a glimpse of the Savior
Don't you know the truth is elusive
Once you hunt for it you lose it
In the morning before anybody wake up
I be swimmin' in the liquor like a Mako
