lyrics

Block Out The Sun (Popp, O'Donnell)

A tearing blast and the ceiling falls.
No anticipating when hatred calls.
Flying nails, souls impaled,
Hear the wail, trust brought to a crawl.

A yellow t-shirt soaks up the blood.
Through the smoke a child shouts for her mom.
A violent shame, there’s no cage,
To contain the monsters we’ve become.

How do you block out the, how do you block out the,
How do you block out the sun?

A turnstile marked with skin of a girl.
A waving flag falls to a silent curl.
No words to speak, hate it reeks,
My legs are weak, swallowed in the swirl.

How do you block out the, how do you block out the,
How do you block out the sun?

A hand grabs at me through the silt.
Can’t break me no matter how much is spilled.
Won’t stay put, shake off the soot,
Start with one foot, I’m a man that can’t be killed.
No you can’t block out the, no you can’t block out the,
No you can’t block out the sun.
