Sparks Against the Sun

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
In the light of the day, we'll disappear
Just like, like little sparks against the sun
No one remembers where they begin
Or where we end

[Verse 2]
In and out, the days escape the damages of dawn
Still, our dreams lie in broken pieces
Rusting on the lawn

[Chorus]
In the light of the day, we'll disappear
Just like, like little sparks against the sun
No one remembers where they begin
Or where we end

[Bridge]
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 in the 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

[Chorus]
In the light of the day, we'll disappear
Just like, like little sparks against the sun
No one remembers where they begin
Or where we end
