PDacifAic Sun, you Gshould have warned us, it gets so cold here.
And Gmthe niDght can freeze, before you set it on fire.
And our flaAres go unnoticed.
GDimminished, faded jGmust as soon as Dthey are fired.
We are, Awe arGe, intriguedGm  
DWe are, wAe areG, invisiGmble.
BmOh, how Gwe've Emshouted, how Gwe've screamed, take notice, take interest, take me with you.
But all Gour fears Emfall on deaf ears.
DTonight, theyEm're burGning Dthe roads they built to lead us to the light.
And blEminding our Ghearts wiDth their shining lies,
while Emclosing Gour caskets Dcold and tight.
But IEm'm dyiGng Dto live.
Pacific sun, you should have warned us, these heights are dizzying,
and the climb can kill you long before the fall.
And our trails go unmarked and unmapped and covered
just as soon as they are crossed.
We are, we are, intriguing. We are, we are, desirable.
Oh how we've shouted, how we've screamed,
take notice, take interest, take me with you.
But all our fears fall on deaf ears.
Tonight, they're burning the roads they built to lead us to the light.
And blinding our hearts with their shining lies,
while closing our caskets cold and tight. But I'm dying to live.
