Allure of the Earth

The sun taunts you
In everything you do
Like a substance that works for everyone else

But has no effect on you
It shines for places
You'll never go
It shines for people
You'll never know

You believe that in your entire life
You will never feel
What it's like
So you turn away
Dream about an escape

A hole in the earth deep and cool
That you could climb down into
I despise the rising
Of the upsetting sun
I'll hide away

Until the day is done
I'll exclude myself
A few months of every year
To avoid the drama
Of the sun, sweat and tears
You could fall away

And no one would know
Release the tension of holding on
Feel the high of letting go
So you turn away
Elude the pressures of the sun
Go find your place in the shade

Far away from everyone
It's so easy to get your fill
When the engine turns and pushes in the dirt
It's so easy to be satisfied

When all you want to do is lay down and die
The Allure of the Earth
Those dreams can come true
When you make a deal with the earth
Who says
Here's what I can do for you

The Allure of the Earth
When you are through with trying
When you are tired and days are long
Letting go seems so inviting
The Allure of the Earth (the Allure of the Earth)

The desire to give up (the desire to give up)
It is the encouragement (it is the encouragement)
When you are discouraged

The Allure of the Earth (the Allure of the Earth)
When the urges aren't worth fighting (when the urges aren't worth fighting)
The temptations on the great beyond
Become so exciting
