lyrics

lay back down at the edge of the room
he says, "I might as well be dead already," so why not try?
so I said what he said I said he said
he looked tire and old but gawky and empty

what did he do to deserve immortality?
why can't I fly?
driving home in the darkest night with stars blanketing over
but where is he going?

chorus:
challenge the sun
the way they challenge everything
and why can't you look at me the way I look at you?
and why don't you see me when I'm red-rimmed and drowning?
I'll challenge the sun,
I'll challenge you

something about reality
something about progression; live alive, die young
talking to himself as he drives forever,
not seeing through the rain, but trying

whoever said love is a slow form of suicide
never fell this fast
something about reality struck him as it fell from heaven
and he smiled

chorus

lay back down on the edge of the room
he says, "I might as well be dead already, but I can't try"
I tried to get through with tears and screaming
but he kept on pushing back, so I'm crying

he checks my eyes one last time
looking for some reason as to not believe
but he doesn't find a way, and as a slave to air,
he takes a deep breath and he says
that he can't care for me

chorus
