Sulfur Skies

[Verse 1]
We'll create a payment plan
In which you're working for the man
"Someday, baby, we'll retire"
Said the man, but he's a liar

Really everybody knows
The world is going up in smokestacks
Baby's gonna be a ghost
Who doesn't get to pay his loans back

[Chorus]
If I'm gonna starve to death
In my Sunday best
Under sulfur skies
Would you really care for me
And be there for me
Or avert your eyes?

If I make it out by the skin of my teeth
I'm falling into the fire

Let me live a life
Let me live a life
Let me live a life
I desire

[Verse 2]
You can send your thoughts and prayers (You can send your thoughts and prayers)
Or pretend you're unaware (Or pretend you're unaware)
Or just say that you don't care (Or just say that you don't care)
It's just the way that life's unfair

But when the temperatures are high (Oh oh oh)
They're gonna pump it in the sky (Oh no no)
And that means you are gonna die (Yeah real slow)
And you're still asking why (But we all know)

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop lying, there's no use crying
We know who's dying and you don't care
Stop trying to justify it
'Cause I won't buy it, there's nothing there

[Chorus]
If I'm gonna starve to death
In my Sunday best
Under sulfur skies
Would you really care for me
And be there for me
Or avert your eyes?

If I make it out by the skin of my teeth
I'm falling into the fire

Let me live a life
Let me live a life
Let me live a life
I desire

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh

[Bridge]
You can run but you can't hide
It's just a matter of time
[?]
I just wanna live a life

You can run but you can't hide
It's just a matter of time
[?]
I just wanna live a life

[Chorus]
If I'm gonna starve to death
In my Sunday best
Under sulfur skies
Would you really care for me
And be there for me
Or avert your eyes?

If I make it out by the skin of my teeth
I'm falling into the fire

Let me live a life
Let me live a life
Oh, let me live a life
I desire
