"Dawn Pretend" lyrics

"Dawn Pretend"

I've been keeping me sick
Far much better than you
Here's an out should you doubt leaving

I'd take more days with you
Singing into my mouth
When you go lose the notes
I'm leaving

Life is brighter now you're blue
Inconvenient for a time

It's a life not shown
Past the progress grown
Then your sunlight broke

Sink while losing the land
Cut myself from your sky
Call it done
Go enjoy leaving

Keep my words as your home
Stay gone as long as you can
Not that I'd ever mind leaving

Life is brighter now you're blue
Inconvenient for a time
I once thought you brave to defend then die
Move away from home

It's a life not shown
Past the progress grown
Then your sunlight broke
