Lyrics

Dawn: Making an Effort

Smiling skulls tonguing the burn
Our haunted throats rally
Rally

Smiling skulls running us down
Get it together
Rally
Rally

Raptured flowers
One wild sprawl
Untethered
Making an effort
Making an effort

Captured throats
Dawn running us down
Running us down
Dawn running us down
Running us down

Dawn running us down
Running us down
