lyrics

When I taste the sun, I hope to get a burn
A permanent impression of Heaven

Hallelujah! All the flavour bursts around me
The honeyed world drips with sugar like a candy
Suckled, savoured and cradled
Too sweet to swallow
Every sensation grows
until I start to choke

One by one each pleasure leaves me
With no reason

Old sun, I see you die
From burning so bright
Old sun, I see you’ll blind
If I stare all of the time

When I taste the sun, I hope to get a burn
A permanent expression of Heaven

Old sun, I see you die
From burning so bright.
Old sun, I see you’ll blind
If I stare all of the time

Every sensation is a treasure
Every muscle remembers
Every sensation is a dagger
Every muscle remembers
