My sun, I see the truth inside of me
And the heavens that are is far beyond the hell I stand
And it's open as sky as a mind
You could face this thing before you lose the time

Fight this sorrow instead of precious silence
Return your favour, it doesn't matter how you live
Fight this sorrow instead of precious silence
Return your favour, it doesn't matter how you live

I told you everything you got on that way
And the question is still without my sight you reach
And it's closer than my heart and my dream
When you would just leave me suffering alone

Forget the price cos I have to pay it anyway
Escape your tears and let's see why you feel
Forget the price cos I have to pay it anyway
Escape your tears and let's see why you feel

Going down again
In this hell I stand
With a handful of words and nothing else

Going down again
In this hell I stand
With a handful of words and nothing else

We start to adapt to this waking pain
I barely can describe what's been plaguing our sight
When you're slow everything I embrace this way
You left me alone with suffering

Forget the price cos I have to pay it anyway
Escape your tears and let's see why you feel
Forget the price cos I have to pay it anyway
Escape your tears and let's see why you feel

Going down again
In this hell I stand
With a handful of words and nothing else

Going down again
In this hell I stand
With a handful of words and nothing else

(solo)

Going down again
In this hell I stand
With a handful of words and nothing else

Going down again
In this hell I stand
With a handful of words and nothing else

Going down again
In this hell I stand
With a handful of words and nothing else

Going down again
In this hell I stand
With a handful of words and nothing else

    I do not guarantee these lyrics to be 100% correct. I love this song, but searching for the words, I could not find anything on the Internet - so I sat down with a slowed down copy of the song, and after hours of listening closely and tweaking what I wrote down, I ended up with these lyrics. Enjoy ^^

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
