Names are rendered superfluous,
And will never justify existence.
Life is only a moment's glance.
You're not supposed to stare directly at the sun
You're not supposed to stare directly at the sun
You're not supposed to stare directly at the sun
You're not supposed to stare directly at the sun
You're not supposed to stare directly at the sun,
But I already have.
The light is
Far too bright,
And I have
Abandoned sleep.

You're not supposed to stare directly at the sun
You're not supposed to stare directly at the sun
You're not supposed to stare directly at the sun
You're not supposed to stare directly at the sun,
But I already have.
The light is
Far too bright,
And I have
Abandoned sleep.
