"UNDER THE SUN"
--------------------------
she'll hit you with a hammer
she'll bite you like a snake
she'll roam around the room
like she owns the place
she'll come through your town
just like a wrecking ball
she's got no sense
she thinks she owns it all

he wears his sunglasses
at night and by day
he sits on the sidewalk
with his head to the ground
and he wanders around 
just talking to himself
he's got nobody to confide in

it's all fun under the sun(3x)
it's all fun

Woohoo

it's all fun under the sun(3x)
it's all fun

she'll hit you with a hammer
she'll bit you like a snake
he'll roam around the room
like he owns the place
he wears his sunglasses
at night and by day
she's the sun's hot burning rays

Under The Sun (feat. Matt Stewart)

"An Ache For The Distance"
------------------------------------
You fell like a feather 
into winds of dedicated love
You looked like an angel
at home with the supernatural
Now it's the gravity that's bound me
to this chunk of world,
this sediment-ed ground
with the worms and the longing to take flight...

So now I've learned the methods
and the burdens of a choice
I made when I was torn but now I'm climbing hills and walls to get free
You've gotten so far away from me
My soul,
The thing I used to be
I'm trying so hard now, can't you see
that the fires in the field of dreams are spreading?
and the memories that we built to last are dying
And there's holes in the walls of the night
from the light of the stars up in our minds

This won't be the first time that you leave for the last time
You looked like an angel
with a lean that just came so natural
Now it's the crows that have found me
Like a malicious omen or a cry from up above
Trying hard to ignore the taste of stale air in their lungs
Their eyes have seen the fires in the field of dreams that are spreading
and the memories that we built to last are dying
and those holes in the walls of our minds
from the light of the stars up in the night

You fell like a feather
into winds of dedicated love
You looked like an angel
You looked like an angel...

An Ache For The Distance

"Like A Bomb"
--------------------
You're falling farther
Can we take this one step further,
Until you fire off like a bomb?
I saw you at the party,
You were a total kamikaze,
and then you looked my way and smiled

If you think that I care
Where the hell have you been for the last three years?
We never met a great conversation

You're eating led like the other guy you shot down
who moved back to his hometown to rip his heart and throat out
and then fired them off like a bomb
You think it's blatant anarchy
being just a worthless thought to me
I will be leaving when I want
You won't believe in what you want
You're just another fucking bum
Never doing what you want
Getting picked up by the cops
Telling your friends I'm a slob

If you think that I care
Who the hell have you been sleeping with for the last 3 years?
We never met a great conversation
We never had a good conversation
Relationship's are social masturbation...

Like A Bomb

"Looking Down The Barrel"
--------------------------------------
If every form of question 
came from the tip of a burning gun 
Would these eyes be caught misleading 
In the wake of the rising sun? 
Would you hold my hand inside of this coffin? 
Would you see my soul to bed 
If every form of question 
Were made of burning lead? 

Ive seen the worn out path before me 
Filled with bottles and reapers and fools 
She follows me by example 
and leads now by the rules 
She's six feet tall and filled with alcohol 
Her words are merely for show 
when the morning comes with the blazing sun 
Then it's time I better go 

Instead of eating the words 
you've been shooting 
Just let them fall from the tip of the tongue 
and forget every time that you're looking 
down the barrel of a gun.

Looking Down The Barrel

Answers
-------------

You hide behind fences 
You hide behind shame 
You commit to all war like it's some kind of game 
and you pass away slowly but you leave with a price 
your sons and their daughters, they'll live with their lives 
and I've seen that sad look inside of hundreds of eyes 
You're passing forever, and fading forever, 
and you won't stop forever, now look at our streets 
They're filled up with liars with all of their guns and their toys 
and all of the pity soaked women who cry in the gutters 
to afraid to climb ladders or bury their shame 
But I dont want to fuss or fight no more 

Our tongues are all tied up to the steps of our homes 
and our hands are all tied back to the small kitchen tables 
where we talked ourselves in circles until our fingers bled 
smoking for hours and never getting anywhere 
outside of these holes deep in our lungs 
like pictures of war tucked under our sheets with our caddilac cars 
and all the jokes that come with them from the mouths of the graveyards 
where our children are digging just to find out the answers 
They're pulling up bodies just to find out the answer 
But I don't want to fuss or fight no more 
No, I don't want to fuss or fight no more 

You pick to the bone just to look at your face 
and you rise to the surface where your family is waiting 
they want to see you in peril 
they want to see you in heat 
Burning up slowly you scatter the ashes into the ashtrays 
into the bars 
into the places you never could relate to 
We commit to our lovers without knowing their fathers, who follow their mothers like some kind of shadow... 
Like some kind of shadow 
But I don't want to fuss or fight no more

Pennies Won't Get You High
---------------------------------------

One more drink and I'll be on the sidewalk yelling at some china doll
like the last time you told me it would be different
After fading into the night time,
we crawl like objects of horror
My baby's got a mental disorder
like the porcelain skin which my reflections within
it's cracked, and chipped, and judges me through it all.

Is there no better reason for living life like a pacifist,
besides a fable-istic eulogy and a shiny maple coffin for sleep?

I am the powder on your glossy bedroom mirror
right before the bill goes up your nose,
and I trickle down your throat,
and I make you wanna fly...

Right before you want to die
Regretting every single sunrise
because pennies won't ever get you high again
You're sweating out, to numb for original sin
Pennies won't ever get you high again...

I am the friendship you use to gain advantage
That sensation of a void within which never ever left us
You are the empress on a throne of times fleeting lies
Inside the plague there is no meaning to your life
and you escape by obsessing with others lives.

The Morning After
--------------------------

Leave me out this time, 
Said I don't want no part of this
There's monsters on the sidewalk
With their hands clenched in a fist
My sunglasses defenses only keep my eyes at bay
Until the words from in my mouth decide to give me all away

But if you're really adamant
I guess we've got to go
Into the crazy world of judgement
there, wrapped in a blanket of snow
Wonder what your friends would say if they saw you looking like this?
"You're a loser, and a boozer, yeah, and a total hypocrite."

It's the morning after, just as it's always been for you.
