Contender - Sunburn Lyrics

Yeah I'm feeling so hollow lately (Feeling so hollow)
Yeah, I'm feeling so carved up and cut down (And letdown)
Yeah I'm feeling so riled up and shaken lose and wild
A hundred pink cloud summers couldn't see me smile

And I don't hate myself, I just feel better when I'm not around
Reading Bukowski never saved me from this town

So how can I feel like nothing ever matters
And at the same time it all matters?
For a moment
The same words that move me, give me pause
Yeah, I'm laced together with the last straws, I'm
Dust slipping through my own hands and that's all
Yeah that's all

Last summer I laid in the grass on my back for so long
Just a shadow of myself, just eroded and wrong
Sunburnt so deep it dried up all my guts
Took a deep breath and listened to my heart for once

I am, I am, I am
I'll be nothing someday
I wanna be something today

So how can I feel like nothing ever matters
And at the same time it all matters?
For a moment
The same words that move me, give me pause
Yeah, I'm laced together with the last straws, I'm
Dust slipping through my own hands and that's all
Yeah that's all

I'm losing my soul
But I'll hold, yeah I'll hold
I'm growing old
Way too fast, will it hold?

I'm losing my soul

So how can I feel like nothing ever matters
And at the same time it all matters?
For a moment
The same words that move me, give me pause
Yeah, I'm laced together with the last straws, I'm
Dust slipping through my own hands and that's all
Yeah that's all

I'm losing my soul
