lyrics

Pre
The sun falls red, the sky’s ablaze
(woah, woah)
On fire, on fire, the earth has been set
It’s sundown, it’s sundown

It’s time to burn the whole world down

Verse 1
Ah, It’s not too hard to stay upset
It’s not hard to live a life you’ll regret
And I regret, and I regret everything I ever did, everything I ever did
I regret, I regret, I regret... I regret!

(screamo part)
Sundown! Sundown!
Let the skies burn down!
Let the world crumble around me!
All I feel is apathy! All I feel is apathy!

Chorus
Oh,
The vibrant blue skies, the mysterious midnight
I am the in between, I am the delta of times
And as the sun sets I will die
Just as the sun sets I will die!

So let me die! Let me die!
I’ll let them be the end of my life!

Verse 2
I cannot hide, I cannot run
A broken family’s where I’m from
It’s been so long, it’s been so long,
I’ve failed everyone, so I wrote this song

You know when the sun sets and the past day dies
I am but a passing moment, a fleeting person in your lives
The burning sun will always fall, and a moonless night will rise
I am only regret, a black spot in a pretty sight

Chorus
Oh,
The vibrant blue skies, the mysterious midnight
I am the in between, I am the delta of times
And as the sun sets I will die
Just as the sun sets I will die!

So let me die! Let me die!
I’ll let them see the end of my life!

X
But here I am, a noose in my hand
The axe that cut me, left in the sand
I’ve come so far... to end like this?

I can’t just leave, not here, not yet

And in the end, as time ticked by
The noose that choked me, now all but gone
I stared death in the face, and I turned him down

I’m alive
I’m alive
I’m alive!

Chorus
Ah,
The vibrant blue skies, the mysterious midnight
I am the in between, I am the better times
And as the sun sets I will rise
Just like the sunrise I will rise!

And you will see! You will see!
At sundown I’ll finally be free!
