Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion
But I don't need the comfort of any lies
For I have seen the ending
And there is no ascending rise

Oh, back when I was younger
Was told by other youngsters
That my end will be torture
Beneath the earth

'Cause I don't see what they see
When death is staring at me
I see a window, a limit, to live it
Or not at all

If you could pull the lever
To carry on forever
Would your life even matter anymore?
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion
But it's not what you signed up for

I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
But there's this momentary beam of light
You don't have to wait those salty decades
To get through the gate
It's all in front of your face

I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
But there's this momentary beam of light

I could cross the ocean (I'm sure there won't always)
In a fit of devotion (be sunshine)
For every shining second (I'm sure there won't always)
This fragile body beckons (be sunshine)

You think you're owed it better
(I'm sure there won't always)
Believing ancient letters (be sunshine)
Sure it's a calming notion
(I'm sure there won't always be sunshine)
But it's a lie
