The Sun Was In My Eyes

The sun was in my eyes
 It came through the trees
 Consumed all of my mind
 It was all I could see

 The sun was in my eyes
 Something became of my life
 I left all else behind
 And starred into the light

 The sun was in my eyes
 I could not see
 Please find it in your heart
 To forgive me

 Pursuing the sun because you can
 But still tell the night you’ll still see each other now and again
 Let him down softly, be polite
 Reassure him all the same that things will be like they’ve always have been

 A fragile boy
 With needs on you he depends
 Who measures how much
 It all meant to you by how quickly you left

 A fragile boy
 With needs on you he depends
 With your negligence
 You have pushed him to the edge

 It was the darkness that kept us together…
 …It was the light that led you away

 You control our destiny
 Reduce it back to an idea
 I beg of you from agony
 Please conform to decency

 The sun was in my eyes
 It came through the trees
 Consumed all of my mind
 It was all I could see

 The sun was in my eyes
 Something became of my life
 I left all else behind
 And starred into the light

 The sun is shallow
 It will shine for anyone
 The night is loyal
 Only to those who are true
 Time will fly as you pursue the sun
 But the night will be long and cold
 And it will wait for you at home

 When summer came
 I was overcome
 Something lost for something gained
 Pursuing the sun and it’s hot summer days
 On the long, backstabbing back-road on the way to the grave
