[Verse 1]
Grit in my teeth
Chalk on my tongue
Pasty and pale
Day already done
Night said its piece
Now it just hums
Oh hell, I’m here
Nowhere to run
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel the sizzle on my neck (hey!)
Feel the burn behind my eyes
Every second, every step
Pulls the wire tight
[Chorus]
Total eclipse of the umbrella
Thin cloth, thin thread, thin prayer
Push the button, shut the sky down
I don’t wanna feel it out there
Block out the sun, block out the stare
Shaded by a thin thread
Blocking out that heated dread
[Verse 2]
Sidewalk is steam
Air tastes like rust
All of my thoughts
Sticking to dust
Laughed till it hurt
Coughed till it cracked
Oh hell, I know
There’s no turning back
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel the sizzle on my chest (oh yeah)
Feel the burn beneath my grin
Every shadow that I chase
Looks like where I’ve been
[Chorus]
Total eclipse of the umbrella
Thin cloth, thin thread, thin prayer
Push the button, shut the sky down
I don’t wanna feel it out there
Block out the sun, block out the stare
Shaded by a thin thread
Blocking out that heated dread
[Bridge]
If it tears
Do we stand there, bare
If it breaks
Do we bend or blaze
Tiny shield
Over all this blaze
Tiny shield
Over all these days
[Chorus]
Total eclipse of the umbrella
Thin cloth, thin thread, thin prayer
Push the button, shut the sky down
I don’t wanna feel it out there
Block out the sun, block out the stare
Shaded by a thin thread
Blocking out that heated dread
