Sundown deadline

Verse 1

I keep my head up just to fake the high

The sun hangs heavy like a judge in the sky

Every hour burns but it leaves no trace

Just another bruise that I wear on my face

Pre-Chorus

And I feel the clock tick like a loaded gun

Waiting on the moment when the damage is done

Chorus

Does it all fall apart when the sun goes down?

When the light runs out, do I run out too?

If the dark takes over, does it take me now?

I don’t know the answer… and that scares me more than the truth

Verse 2

The quiet crawls in like a thief through the door

Steals all the warmth I thought I had before

I hold onto daylight like it owes me a fight

But I’m losing the war when it turns into night

Pre-Chorus

And the shadows talk loud when the world goes numb

Saying things that I pray never fall from my tongue

Chorus

Does it all fall apart when the sun goes down?

When the light runs out, do I run out too?

If the dark takes over, does it take me now?

I don’t know the answer… and that scares me more than the truth

Bridge

Maybe night is the mirror I’m too scared to see

Maybe day is just mercy covering me

If hope is a pulse, dusk slows the beat

And I’m asking the sky to not let go of me

Breakdown (rough / screamed-but-melodic)

Is this a warning or the end of the thread?

Is night gonna take what I can’t kill in my head?

Final Chorus

Does it all fall apart when the sun goes down?

When the light runs out, do I run out too?

If the dark takes over, does it take me now?

I don’t know the answer… and that scares me more than the truth

Outro

Sun drops low…

I brace for the sound

Still wondering if I make it

When the sun goes down
