Sunken Sun

The Church · Untitled #23 [2009]

I drowned in a river that had run dry

I drank a sea of gold

I shivered like a stone in the great unknown

Oh, not unknown but just untold



I dreamed I saw the Minotaur

I dreamed I was his twin

It seemed I tore some kind of door

Because now he can get right back in



And I don't wanna talk about it anymore

And if I have to do it again I'll give you what for



I watched the sullen sun shrink

And the levee run out of steam

Eternity loomed in my garret room

I saw you once in some kind of dream



I had a girl in the underworld

She was a spirited little thing

She was so cute, oh, you shoulda seen Pluto

She opened up her heart to sing



And I don't want to talk about it anymore

And if I had to do it again I'll give you what for



I ripped up my return ticket

I hurled it into the sky

I knelt down, I kissed the ground

I knew then it was your turn to fly
