Turn the World Down
Now and then
It's night again
Like black ink pouring from a pen
Curse my eyes
For opening
I'm having trouble just recovering
And in those hours we gazed
Upon white sheets, torn back from a page
My heart is spent
Almost erased
Turn the world down
There's nothing between?
All this beauty and this suffering?
Please if you know
Get the word out
Let the globe spin
Save everyone and everything.
Like a blade Keen and thin
Scimitar Soft like a maid
Beneath his skin
Upon this scene
Disgrace and sin
Where are you now?
Where have you been?
And in those hours we gazed
Upon red sheets, pulled back by the rage
My hearts are spent
Almost erased
Turn the world down
There's nothing between
all this beauty and this suffering?
And if you know
Get the word out
Let the globe spin
Save everyone and everything
Turn the world down
There's nothing between
all this beauty and this suffering?
My mind is all bent
It's stamping my soul
I'm burning down
To tar and charcoal
To blood and ash
To feathers and trash
I gotta move
Turn the world down
There's nothing between
all this beauty and this suffering?
And if you know
Get the word out
Let the globe spin
Save everyone and everything
Turn the world down
There's nothing between
all this beauty and this suffering?
I gotta move
I wanna move
Now and then
It's night again
It's night again
It's night again
Like black ink pouring from a pen
Curse my eyes
For opening
I'm having trouble just recovering
And in those hours we gazed
Upon white sheets, torn back from a page
My heart is spent
Almost erased
Turn the world down
There's nothing between?
All this beauty and this suffering?
Please if you know
Get the word out
Let the globe spin
Save everyone and everything.
Like a blade Keen and thin
Scimitar Soft like a maid
Beneath his skin
Upon this scene
Disgrace and sin
Where are you now?
Where have you been?
And in those hours we gazed
Upon red sheets, pulled back by the rage
My hearts are spent
Almost erased
Turn the world down
There's nothing between
all this beauty and this suffering?
And if you know
Get the word out
Let the globe spin
Save everyone and everything
Turn the world down
There's nothing between
all this beauty and this suffering?
My mind is all bent
It's stamping my soul
I'm burning down
To tar and charcoal
To blood and ash
To feathers and trash
I gotta move
Turn the world down
There's nothing between
all this beauty and this suffering?
And if you know
Get the word out
Let the globe spin
Save everyone and everything
Turn the world down
There's nothing between
all this beauty and this suffering?
I gotta move
I wanna move
Now and then
It's night again
It's night again
