So what will I do when the size of the world Makes me ponder destinations? And the blood inside keeps beating me, Saying if I leave you now, There is still a chance to forget. After that will anything else make sense? Tell me how you think it is, does it move you? I will listen. Your shining eyes don't look my way, But when the night falls I can see them, I still feel them. My polar devices seem to pull magnetically, Contrived to watch me spin. Leave you now? Still a chance to be strong. After all is done I still feel the sand on my feet And the world in my hands, And the echoes of that night will remain. So why can't I understand? I could weigh your remarks, I could try to balance out all the miles between us now. Branded by your gentle fire, Tasted what I still desire. Branded. If I leave you now, I know I'll never forget. Nothing to regret because the light that you gave me Will always shine inside, no need for me to lie. And the time that remains is not pointless anymore. Release my hand and fly. Punishment no longer makes sense

Summer stretching on the grass Summer dresses pass In the shade of a willow tree Creeps are crawling over me Over me and over you Stuck together with God's glue It's going to get stickier too It's been a long hot summer Let's get undercover Don't try too hard to think Don't think at all I'm not the only one Starin' at the sun Afraid of what you'd find If you took a look inside Not just deaf and dumb Staring at the sun Not the only one Who's happy to go blind There's an insect in your ear If you scratch it won't disappear It's gonna itch and burn and sting Do you want to see what the scratching brings? Waves that leave me out of reach Breaking on your back like a beach Will we ever live in peace? 'Cause those that can't do Often have to And those that can't do Often have to preach To the ones staring at the sun Afraid of what you'd find If you took a look inside Not just deaf and dumb Staring at the sun I'm not the only one Who'd rather go blind Intransigence is all around Military still in town Armour plated suits and ties Daddy just won't say goodbye Referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will he listen? I'm nearly great but there's something missing I left it in the duty free, ah But you never really belonged to me You're not the only one Starin' at the sun Afraid of what you'd find If you stepped back inside I'm not sucking on my thumb I'm staring at the sun I'm not the only one Who's happy to go blind

Yuh I was starin' at the sky Singin' toxic lullabies I was starin' at the sky Screamin' words with no remorse Pitchforks pointed at my heart I was starin' at the sky We're gonna break We're gonna break We're gonna break We're gonna break I was starin' at the sky Singin' toxic lullabies I was starin' at the sky

Tobacco stains our yellow teeth And all our fingers and underneath Our finger nails are glass bone sheets As we try desperately to sleep Hearts are saddened, eyes are tired And all this Red Bull keeps us wired It gives us wings, it gives us rings Around our eyes We put three sugars in our tea Sit to watch day time TV And laugh at moms who don't know Who the father is And all our girlfriends are long gone We watch too much internet porn Who needs love when you've got silicone And strap-ons? Beer bloats our spoiled guts And shit jobs keep us in ruts And keep us sighing up the whats and ifs And buts and maybes and Falling over in the street It's just a part of every week When we lie drunkenly Just staring at the stars Remember when they were in reach And all the teachers used to teach You can do anything If you put your mind to it We put our minds to it all But disappointment crashed the ball We could have done anything We just never quite knew it, so... Tie your scarf on tight It's to be a cold night Tie your scarf on tight It's to be a cold night Tie your scarf on tight It's to be a cold night Tie your scarf on tight It's to be a cold night

Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing It brings me down, but I won't let them If I seem bleak Well you'd be correct And if I don't speak It's 'cause I can't disconnect But I won't be Burned up by the reflection Of the fire in your eyes As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun As you're staring at the sun (Hey) When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway (Hey) When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away (Hey) There's more to living than only surviving Maybe I'm not there But I'm still trying Though you hear me I don't think that you relate My will is something That you can't confiscate So forgive me But I won't be frustrated By destruction in your eyes As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh (Hey) When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway (Hey) When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away (Hey) There's more to living than only surviving Maybe I'm not there But I'm still trying Though you hear me I don't think that you relate My will is something That you can't confiscate So forgive me But I won't be frustrated By destruction in your eyes As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh (Hey) Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway (Hey) Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way (Hey) Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing It brings me down But I won't let them If I seem bleak Well you'd be correct And if I don't speak It's 'cause I can't disconnect But I won't be Burned up by the reflection Of the fire in your eyes As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun As you're staring at the sun
