Veins Of Ash — The Sun Was Hers (Official Visual Video)

— THE SUN WAS HERS LYRICS — You were the sun. I don't know how else to say it. You were the sun And I was the reason it went down. You walked into rooms and the rooms changed Not dramatically Not the way people say it in songs The air just shifted Something in the temperature of being near you Made the grey less total I didn't know what that was when I first felt it I just knew I wanted to stay inside it I thought that was love I thought wanting to stay in someone's light Was the same as loving them I didn't know yet that I was going to spend it The way the cold spends warmth Without asking Without noticing Until the room is the same temperature as everything else You were the sun and I stood in you and called it mine. You were the sun and I forgot. That standing in a light doesn't mean you own it The sun doesn't know what the cold does to it from the insideThe sun just keeps giving until the giving runs dry And I was the cold inside the warmth you kept offering And I let you keep offering And I watched the sun go down one morning at a time And told myself it was just the season I remember the specific light you had when you were happy The way it moved in your face Before you learned to be careful with it around me I remember when you stopped being careful Because you trusted me with the full weight of it And I remember the morning That weight started to cost you something I saw it I want you to know I saw it And I told myself it was tiredness and held you closer Because your warmth was the only thing Standing between me and the water I used the sun to keep from drowning I didn't think about what using the sun does to the sun You were the sun and I was so cold You were the sun and cold doesn't mean to It just is The sun doesn't know what it costs to keep shining Into something that only takes The sun just keeps rising because that's what the sun does Until the day it doesn't And the room goes cold and stays cold And I stood in the cold after you were gone And understood for the first time What the room had been when you were in itWhat I had been standing in all that time Without knowing it was the only warm thing in my world I think about the last morning you were still warm with me I don't know which morning it was I didn't know it was the last one when it was happening I just know at some point the warmth became careful And then the careful became quiet And then the quiet became The specific silence of someone Who has given everything they had to give And is still being asked to give more And I was asking I didn't know I was asking But I was asking AND YOU KEPT GIVING BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU DID BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME AND THE LOVE KEPT YOU STANDING IN THE ROOM LONG AFTER THE ROOM HAD TAKEN EVERYTHING THE STANDING COST AND I LET YOU AND I LET YOU AND I LET YOU AND I CALLED IT US AND I CALLED IT LOVE AND I CALLED IT THE SEASON AND I WATCHED THE SUN GO DOWN AND I SAID NOTHING AND I DID NOTHING AND I HELD YOU CLOSER AND I TOOK MORE AND YOU LET ME BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME AND I LET YOU LET ME BECAUSE I WAS SO COLD I WAS SO COLD I WAS ALWAYS SO COLD AND YOU WERE THE ONLY WARM THING AND I SPENT YOU AND I SPENT YOU AND I SPENT YOU The sun went down. I know why now. Not because it wanted to. Not because it was tired of rising. Because I was cold every single morning it rose for me And cold that consistent over time Does something to the warmth that tries to meet it. I didn't mean to put it out. That's the thing I can't stop sitting with. I didn't mean to. I just was what I was And what I was was cold enough to do it anyway. The sun went down I know why now I was the cold it kept rising into The sun went down Not because it chose to Because I was there every morning Taking the warmth and giving nothing back And calling that being loved The sun went down And the room has been the same temperature As everything else ever since You were the sun. I didn't know what that meant until the room went cold. I know what it means now. I'm sorry I learned it at your expense © VOA / Veins of Ash. All rights reserved.
