[Verse 1]
2
You got an albatross around your neck
3
Around your neck
4
You got one hundred broken lightbulbs above your head
5
They said that you had it coming but I wouldn't bet
6
Cause you got a slowly ticking time bomb and then you see red
7
[Pre-Chorus]
8
Sunblind

Sunblind
10
[Verse 2]
11
You got an albatross around your neck
12
Around your neck
13
You got a pile of broken wishbones under your bed
14
And you got a hungry green eyed monster that you keep fed
15
And it keeps on coming over it wants you dead
16
[Pre-Chorus]
17
Sunblind

[Hook]

[Chorus]
21
You burnt the lungs
22
That your ancestors created
23
You sat by the banks
24
Of the river and you waited
25
Till time rolled back
26
And the water had abated
27
You drank your share
28
But you still could not be sated
29
Quicksands of the mind
30
And the sinkholes you may find
31
When you look through
32
The twisting of the vines
33
[Bridge]
34
Time comes round
35
The game is itching at your bone
36
Chill wind comes round
37
It's blowing through your home
38
Quicksands of the mind
39
And the sinkholes you may find
40
When you look through
41
The twisting of the vines
42
[Chorus]
43
You burnt the lungs
44
That your ancestors created
45
You sat by the banks
46
Of the river and you waited
47
Till time rolled back
48
And the water had abated
49
You drank your share
50
But you still could not be sated
51
You said you're scared
52
Of the clocks that keep ticking over
53
We'll find a way
54
For a life that's worth living over
55
Again and again
56
For a life that's worth living over
57
Again and again
