lyrics

The sun is falling
The sky is burning

I've always found it kind of funny
How the sunflowers nod to the sun
How the fish they move as one
How the starlings fly and murmurations form

What happens if we open our chest
And lift our heads like the sunflower said
To the sun

And the sun beats down
And we're falling behind X2

The sun is falling
The sky is burning

I've always found it kind of spooky
How the seams are getting stretched
How the buttons are gonna pop
How the threads are getting loose

And the sun beats down
We're falling behind x2

And the sun beats down
