Today is the day

Hey boy, may I ask you a question?
Can you turn away from the fire?
Those ashes will follow you home, son
Come on, don't be a coward

Is it wrong that I imagine death as free
As a chance to escape a let go?
One way ticket to hell on your back
With the lips of the devil on your mouth

But I don't want to go
No, I don't want to go
But I don't want to go
No, I don't want to go down underground

Come push the sun down
Until it doesn't rise
You know us sad boys
Well, we can't stand the light

Listen up, I'm gonna tell you a secret
I am made out of water
Killing your friend in the town where you live in
You know that ain't no suicide

Can I be brought above to kiss the sky
To break loose from the roots?
Of course you can't, you know heaven's unreachable
When you let your own hand, take you down

But I don't want to go
No, I don't want to go
No, I don't want to go down underground

Come push the sun down
Until it doesn't rise
You know us, boys
Well, we can't stand the light
Flames upon the edge of a saint
It's a martyr mistake I know
