Turn The World Down

Now and then It's night again Like black ink pouring from a pen Curse my eyes For opening I'm having trouble just recovering And in those hours we gazed Upon white sheets, torn back from a page My heart is spent Almost erased Turn the world down There's nothing between All this beauty and this suffering Please if you know Get the word out Let the globe spin Save everyone and everything Like a blade Keen and thin Scimitar soft like a maid beneath his skin Upon this scene Disgrace and sin Where are you now? Where have you been? And in those hours we gazed Upon red sheets, pulled back by the rage My heart is spent Almost erased Turn the world down There's nothing between All this beauty and this suffering And if you know Get the word out Let the globe spin Save everyone and everything Turn the world down There's nothing between All this beauty and this suffering My mind is bent It's stamping my soul I'm burning down To tar and charcoal To blood and ash To feathers and trash I gotta move Turn the world down There's nothing between All this beauty and this suffering And if you know Get the word out Let the globe spin Save everyone and everything Turn the world down There's nothing between All this beauty and this suffering I gotta move I wanna move Now and then It's night again It's night again
