Last Sunset Anthem
by Avery Beres
Lyrics
Intro
Red sky
Ash rain
Slow wind
Cold flame
Verse 1
Sirens in the distance
Half-burned signs on the road
Empty swings in the playground
Still moving like they know
Mama in the kitchen praying
Pot on the stove gone dry
Static on the old screen flickers
Countdown in my tired eyes
Chorus
When the world stops turning
Will you stand beside me
When the oceans climb the stairs
And the sky starts crying
If this is the last sunset
Let it fall on my face
Let me hold your shaking hands
As it all fades, all fades
Verse 2
Smoke draws maps on the ceiling
I trace them just to feel okay
Posting little laughs for strangers
While the ground gives way
Neighbors talking through the keyholes
Trading rumors, trading blame
But every story sounds the same now
Everybody late to change
Chorus
When the world stops turning
Will you stand beside me
When the oceans climb the stairs
And the sky starts crying
If this is the last sunset
Let it fall on my face
Let me hold your shaking hands
As it all fades, all fades
Bridge
We danced on the fault line (slow whine)
Laughed at the warning signs
Said “tomorrow, maybe”
Ran out of tomorrows, right on time
Chorus
When the world stops turning
Will you stand beside me
When the oceans climb the stairs
And the sky starts crying
If this is the last sunset
Let it fall on my face
Let me hold your shaking hands
As it all fades, all fades (all fades)
As it all fades, all fades
