the sunset kings - pompeii lyrics

Loading...

[poem]
minor key
low down
sound off
into the night
lit like
luminaries;
luminaries
likened to light that

caught corners
sculpted stone
peek into galaxies
not your own
mind crowned
stormy skies
khaki skinned and
kohl eyed
all on your own
all on your own
all on your own

[verse 1]
tear it out of my ribs
i don’t like the way my heart talks
when you walk past: skipping
beats and waiting back
and all for what?
just so we can hear you call back?
heightened awareness
adrenaline kicking
my brain into high gear
my words taking cliff dives off of high rises

[pre+chorus]
i am addicted to the way that you look
when you’re looking up at me
you’re fire hazard and i am frayed edges
trying to burn neatly

[chorus]
let me fall down to my knees
and worship at the gates of your temple
and i’ll say a prayer cause my heart is
going up in flames
call me pompeii
cause my body is a city up in flames

[verse 2]
you’re drinking june in like pompeii
like things are meant to die
i see the way that we fall in
and self destruct, oh what
this city taught us about love
is sacrament and though
we never question that faith
i can’t help but wonder why
we lose our innocence too soon
oh baby what is it like
to love for a night?

[pre+chorus]
i am addicted to the way that you look
when you’re looking up at me
you’re fire hazard and i am frayed edges
trying to burn neatly

[guitar solo]

[chorus]
let me fall down to my knees
and worship at the gates of your temple
and i’ll say a prayer cause my heart is
going up in flames
call me pompeii
cause my body is a city up in flames
