Cut up the night as you like
Start carving out those rays
To turn our faces on the ever summer of our ever life
Never roam on or turn out golden tones
In the still of the bright shine
It’s a hard light crashing down on our faces
when we lie to ourselves (faces never change they cloud)
It’s a cold rain pushing down from the north
when all we need is the sun
Turn on today where you stand
Start buying up some time
To turn our faces on the ever summer of our ever life
Never roam on to turn out golden tones in the still of the bright shine
It’s a hard light crashing down on our faces
when we lie to ourselves (pushing always leads to shove)
It’s a cold rain pushing down from the north
When all we need is the sun
Give it up and go
Hard light
Hard light
Hard light in these faces
It’s a hard light
Have you ever lied to yourself?
