Royal Canoe - I Can't Lie Down Lyrics

How can a day feel any longer?
The weight of the plow is slowing me down
The sweat on my back's making me crazy
The pull of the earth is a powerful thing

The flies in my eyes, I can't even see them
The cuts in my side are deeper than wide
So how does blood coursing through veins
Make such beautiful vapour out of the rain?

I can't lie down
I can't lie down
All for the violence
Bursting from the ground

Try to recall the peace of the evening
When eyes can close and water is cold
The sun is a gun, the sun is a muzzle
It's all that there is, there's nothing but this

I dream on my feet of swimming through rivers
But only this can cool me down
The glorious thought of feeling your bones cracking
Under my weight, under me

I can't lie down
I can't lie down
All for the violence
Bursting from the ground
