Sunburn Lyrics

untitled
i wanted to feel something
to be something
to see something
i wanted to find
one thing that was mine
and leave this behind
but i, i can't find my way
to get far away
and bury these days

fantasy
once reality
becomes such a parody

and if i could find
one thing that was mine
i'd leave this behind
but i, i can't find my way
to get far away
and bury these days
bury these days
to bury these days

if shining
or if shaking
is reality faking

and if i could find
one thing that was mine
i'd leave this behind
but i, i can't find my way
to get far away
and bury these days



Jesus or a Gun
walk away, i walk the wire
and my fields are burning in the flames
feel my way, blind in the mire
struggling from your voice inside my head

chorus:
but now everything's trying to drag me down
but i'll rip the sky from the ground
tell me now, who's my saving one
jesus or a gun

stripped away my last desire
nothing comes and nothing's sent away
happiness i couldn't hire
struggling from your voice inside my head

(chorus) all that's safer falls from my favor
when it's over who will cry for me

it's safe to say i don't desire
everything you push inside my head
and i'll reject it until i'm dead

(chorus)




It's Come To This
i found my head uncrowned and all life's sweet nectar flowing down
the cracks and seams wasted on some petty little prayers
and i
reached up for despair but i was well below that cherished stage
all my mangled hopes all songs unsung

chorus:
fear i've wasted all my sun
fear i've wasted all my time
everything is faded
smiles are fabricated now
fear i've wasted all my sun
fear i've wasted all my time
held my eyes closed for too long

and i ran out through the streets in hopes that i might find it there
but all my buildings stared back at me tenantless and bare
and i
reached up for the sky, but it always seemed so far away
transcendent thoughts you gave lie atrophied and broken

(chorus)

and i sat when i should have stood; swallowed when i should have spit
but now i only recognize me in pictures taken long ago
and
all the changes simply haunt and never go away
a friend will tell when i hit hell, i may not feel the change

held my eyes closed for too long
held my eyes closed for too long

just before i go don't you offer any sweet advice because
where were all your shoulders when i needed them so long ago
and
now with legs weak and weary from this silly dance
with a suitcase full of memories, i pack my bags and slowly drift away




Ozone
i wanna make her go, i wanna make her come
i wanna give her away
don't wanna feel no pain
don't wanna feel no shame
don't wanna feel this way
i'm so alone here
why must i be

chorus:
i'm the one she calls ozone baby
she waits alone for me to come down
but I want to fly like a silly angel
aim for the sky, straight into the sun

i wanna make her feel, i wanna make it real
i wanna push her away
she wants keep me here
she wants hold me dear
she wants make me stay
she's so alone here
she don't need me

(chorus)

my sun, on you, burning, singe you
confined, inside, rot from, my lies, my lies, sucker

i wanna hold you down, i wanna steal your crown
i wanna make you cry
i'll only break your pride, and eat you up inside
why should you even try
i'm so alone here
why must i be

(chorus)

Bittersweet
seven sins of wantonness
and everything that's good is gone
sell it all for glory from the peers
silicone priestess
scratch the back and
twist the knife to bone
kick against the pricks and
scrape the shins
i'm the enemy in the enemies now

chorus:
swallowed the pill
and drank to the fill
all these things i carry now
in this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now

try to hold the world there sinking,
swimming in a paper cup
try to own the one beneath the skin
held up to the flame still singeing
skin begins to draw and tuck
never told there's not a chance to win

what couldn't be, wouldn't be now

(chorus)

hold your hands up to the sky
and try so hard to rise above
but everything is beating down


(chorus)



Sunburn
the sky was dark this morning
not a bird in the trees
silence hung suspicious and anxious
like a blanket covered scream

you were gone
you were not there for me
and i cursed the sky and begged the sun to
fall all over me
this life's not living, baby
living ain't free
and if i can't find my way back to me
let the sun fall down over me
let the sun fall down

all my friends are searching
quiet, desperately
look into their eyes you'll see the faithless crying
save me, save me, save me

what are they to feel
who are they to be
what am i to do with, do with me, but let the sun
fall all over me
this life's not living
living ain't free
and if i can't find my way back to me
let the sun fall down over me
let the sun fall

until my eyes cry out
'til my head is free from doubt
'til my lungs sigh right out
'til i'm wiser

let the sun
fall all over me
this life's not living, baby
living ain't free
and if i can't find my way back to me
let the sun fall down over me
let the sun fall down




Song For You
it's all i want
it's all i needed now it's through
it all comes back to you
the only one
the one i needed i abuse
more color for the bruise

and so i sing this song for you
there's nothing left for me to do

goodbye dear one
venus i thought you'd bless me too
so selfish to presume

chorus:
and so i sing this song for you
and i hope that what is true
will find a way to you
i sing this song for you

venus never showed the way
the stars would not be sold
heaven stole the light of day
and we were never told
so dark the day...
so much for life, for life and love

and now it's done
the color always changes hue
from bright to black and blue

(chorus)

and so i sing this song for you
there's nothing left for me to do





Hideaway
hideaway, take me now
i cannot face another round
and i'm flipping through these pages
for a name to take my place
close my eyes, wish that i could find a place
to hideaway

troubled days cloud my eyes
stole the sun from my skies
and in this darkness i am tossing, turning
lying wide awake
hold my breath, wish that i could find a place
to hideaway

hideaway, take me now
i cannot face another round



Shimmer
she calls me from the cold
just when i was low
feeling short of stable
all that she intends
and all she keeps inside
isn't on the label
she says she's ashamed
and can she take me for awhile
can i be a friend
we'll forget the past
but maybe i'm not able
and i break at the bend
chorus:
we're here and now
will we ever be again
'cause i have found
all that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
away,again

she dreams a champagne dream
strawberry surprise
pink linen on white paper
lavender and cream
fields of butterflies
reality escapes her
she says that love
is for fools who fall behind
i'm somewhere between
i never really know
a killer from a savior
'til i break at the bend

(chorus)

it's too far away for me to hold
too far away
it's too far away for me to hold
too far away...

guess i'll let it go



New Thing
take me out alive
take me out it's all so stale
give me another life
excuse me if i tried and failed
and i don't mind if i fall
it's not that far at all

chorus:
i got a new thing, it's so inspired
it's not the real thing, but it's for me
because the real thing i don't desire
so it's the new thing i choose for me
denial comfort, me

i built the gallows high
you gave me plans and silver nails
the architects of pride
i'm the one you're hanging now

and i don't mind if i fall
it's not that far at all

(chorus)

denial comfort me
comfort me
comfort, comfort, comfort, pride

and i don't mind if i fall
it's not that far at all

i got a new thing, it's so inspired
it's not the real thing, but it's for me
because the real thing i don't desire
so it's the new thing i choose for me

(chorus)

denial comfort





Mary Pretends
mary pretends she's so insane,
so insane, so insane
mary pretends she's so insane,
so insane, so insane
she just sits back and laughs at the pain
laughs at the pain, laughs at the pain
mary pretends she's so insane,
so insane, so insane

falling down of her mind
gives her everything she wanted from the world
close her eyes, drift inside, so alive


chorus:
she's got to know what it feels like
she wants to know how to fly
she wants to know what it feels like to die
goodbye

mary pretends she's so insane,
so insane, so insane
mary pretends she's so insane,
so insane, so insane
she just sits back and laughs at the pain
laughs at the pain, laughs at the pain
mary pretends she's so insane,
so insane, so insane

falling down of her mind
gives her everything she wanted from the world
close her eyes, drift inside, so alive

(chorus)

falling down of her mind
gives her everything she wanted from the world
close her eyes, drift inside, so alive
(chorus)

goodbye
time to die
