Chained To The Sun

VERSE 1: Here comes that feeling that comes with the dusk I am Hector as he’s dragged around the walls of Troy It’s a fate the ice giants can't even escape It’s a fate the ice giants can't even escape Helios is riding away with my joy CHORUS: For my heart has been chained to the sun For my heart has been chained to the sun My heart has been chained to the sun My heart has been chained to the sun VERSE 2 It’s not that I am ruing that a day is done Or dreading the onset of evening’s bitter chill The only warmth I crave is your breath and your embrace The only warmth I crave is your breath and your embrace Their absence saps me and puzzles the will CHORUS: For my heart has been chained to the sun For my heart has been chained to the sun My heart has been chained to the sun My heart has been chained to the sun BRIDGE 1: Forged by Hephaestus, it’s binding is relentless Not a single link’s fabricated weak Sunny days uplift me, cloudy skies set me drift’n The constant rattle drives me crazy Don’t wanna be play’n host to ancient imprisoned ghosts Does anyone around here possess the key? CHORUS: For my heart has been chained to the sun For my heart has been chained to the sun My heart has been chained to the sun My heart has been chained to the sun BRIDGE 2: Can’t stand being inside so I decide to go outside Neighbors walking their dogs barely stop to say “hi” A pretty girl’s head’n towards me, clearly trying to avoid me I must accept that I’m suspect in her eyes I’m just some maladroit en route to Inspiration Point To marvel at the colors of the sky VERSE 3: Were I to chase the light would time come undone Like a spinning wheel that’s wound in reverse Pull the threads of your lace and its pattern is erased Pull the threads of your lace and its pattern is erased Could I outrun the star to which I have been tethered? CHORUS: For my heart has been chained to the sun For my heart has been chained to the sun My heart has been chained to the sun My heart has been chained to the sun
