lyrics

The acid test is all in my head, do you live a lie or are you getting high?
Colours shine so bright, flying like a kite, you're free as a bird, who wants to see the world
Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on
We hold the sun, we hold the sun, we hold the sun

Sun burns my eyes, pigs seem to fly, coming down to earth, I'm gonna see my birth, I'm gonna see my birth
Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on
We hold the sun

Rotten to the core, leave the acid by the door, you know it's late, you better stay awake, you better stay awake
Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on
We hold the sun we hold the sun
We hold the sun
We hold it tightly to our chest and then we let it go

We hold the sun, we hold the sun, we hold the sun, we hold then sun
Life is not a rehearsal
The walls are closing in on me, I'm falling deeper
The walls are closing in on me, I'm falling deeper
The walls are closing in on me, I'm falling deeper, deeper, deeper
