We Radiate

I know a place that steals our sunshine
It jumps and guides the heart away
I know a touch that keeps you glowing
Against your back the waters play

Move away
Move away
Let me feel that golden sting of radiation

I know a dream that leaves you broken
I've seen closed eyes hold back the tears
I've kissed the crease between the covers
And spoke of words we gave with smiles

Shade me still
Shade me still
Let me be whatever I am thinking

I believe
In a song
We could find
Heaven's gate in a salad bar

I believe
You would find
An answer to the things you say
You thought you'd left behind

Just sometimes

I am a place of less than perfect
I was a place of less or more
And though my voice has tried to curb it
I feel more passion than before

Move away
Move away
Let me feel that golden sting of radiation

Shade me still
Shade me still

I believe
In this song
You might find
This heart's a racing car

I believe
You could find
An answer to the things you say
You thought you'd left behind

Pulling back
Let's be no stress
Pulling back
Let's not digress
Being oh so privileged

On the beach
Kicking stones
Walking hill paths
On your own

Safe and sound
But on the edge
Reaching out for seagulls wings
That draw you closer to the ledge

In a car
Under road signs
More concerned about the chips you bought
Than paying speeding fines

Back to bed
And out to sea
Well imperial's a mint to you
And so is sovereignty
