Core of the Sun Lyrics

At the start, our intentions were pure

Kept our homes and our power secure

At the start, our intentions were good

Used to know who we were

We got lost underfoot

Always been the responsible sort

Gave it all, but I needed some more

Every day, just a slap in the face

Did you learn anything?

Can you do it again?

So hold on

As tightly as you possibly can

Hold your tongue

And no one has to know what I am

I can’t tell

If I’m doing this for money or love

In this hell

Burning hotter than the core of the sun

I can keep keeping up with demand

I don’t need anything I don’t have

Bought a car and I’m paying the rent

There was something I missed

Feels like something is bent

Feeling tense, but I’m shrugging it off

Don’t complain, ‘cause the standard’s enough

Nothing new, not a story to tell

Never need anyone

Can you live with yourself?

And we’re soiled

With the sort of dirt that never comes off

And the world

Erodes us till we’re nothing at all

I can’t tell

If I’m doing this for money or love

In this hell

Burning hotter than the core of the sun

There are nights when I can’t get to sleep

Not my fault, but it’s coming from me

Take a pill so I don’t have to think

Nothing good ever comes

While I’m staying awake

When they tell you that my heart is intact

It’s so easy if you take it as fact

Every day, learn to edit the truth

Keep selecting the news

Tell me, how can you lose?

But you’re wrong

It’s hotter than the core of the sun
