Jamie Barnes - Three Suns (from the album "Honey From the Ribcage")
Idleness is the devil's playground
He's spinning me, dizzily, on the misery-go-round
Legs and hands are bound
Idolatry is the lover's defect
We're falling down, bowing down, with our faces pressed to the ground
Legs and hands are bound
But you and I know that those statues guard the shore
But you and I know, we can see it out our window
That there's three suns on the rise, just over the highway that goes out my way
When I take you home
We both know
Fireworks are a celebration
When lives are spared and sirens blare
But when thunder threatens overhead we're running scared
Anxiety is a mental breakdown
'Obsessiveness,' 'compulsiveness,' and social paralysis
A big selfish mess
But you and I know that this little child will grow
But you and I know, regardless of the snow
Because there's three suns on the rise, just over the highway that goes out my way
When I take you home
We both know
