Staring @ the Sun

[Verse 1]
Tell me to leave it alone and then I want to touch it
Tell me to let go and I hold it tight in my clutches
Defyin’ type, waitin’ for when the time is right
[?] starin’ at the sun shinin’ bright
Might burn a hole in this fuckin’ retina
Mortal complex, the thought just don’t register
Like this shit could never happen to me
Next thing you know another victim of a tragedy
Tell me to slow down them I’m going faster
Tell me to look out then I’m headin’ for disaster
Hold on and rise only barely begun
Into the murky waters of the aquarium
Stumble slip, fall like autumn (splash)
Start sinkin’ and drop into the bottom
Watching the [?] become so strange
But no matter how deep I go some thangs just don’t change

[Chorus]
Tell me I must sin and that’s why I
Must I know I shouldn’t but maybe I might
Just look up and stare into the sun
Nowhere to turn nowhere on earth to run
Tell me I must sin and that’s why I
Must I know I shouldn’t but maybe I might
Just look up and stare into the sun
Nowhere to turn nowhere on earth to run
Tell me I must sin and that’s why I
Must I know I shouldn’t but maybe I might
Just look up and stare into the sun
Nowhere to turn nowhere on earth to run

[Verse 2]
Tell me to stay cool and I’ll get all heated
Tell me it’s the truth and I won’t wanna believe it
Hedonism in the system, seek pleasure
I get trapped in between the bars of each measure
My safe haven, open the Satan’s toolkit
Get foolish and steppin’ into the bullshit
Diggin’ myself in deeper and deeper
‘Til I’m buried with all the other strung out dreamers
Tell me to remember but not forget it
Tell me to keep it in moderation now I’m addicted
Can’t resist this urge to indulge myself
Even if it lands me in a holdin’ cell
Fist up yellin’ viva la resistance
In every instance gotta go the distance
Pistons pumpin’ but I’m runnin’ on a gerbil wheel
Can’t seem to see beyond these purple hills

[Chorus]
Tell me I must sin and that’s why I
Must I know I shouldn’t but maybe I might
Just look up and stare into the sun
Nowhere to turn nowhere on earth to run
Tell me I must sin and that’s why I
Must I know I shouldn’t but maybe I might
Just look up and stare into the sun
Nowhere to turn nowhere on earth to run
Tell me I must sin and that’s why I
Must I know I shouldn’t but maybe I might
Just look up and stare into the sun
Nowhere to turn nowhere on earth to run

[Verse 3]
Tell me to cut back and I’ll increase the intake
Tell me life’s perfect and I’ll point out the mistakes
These are the breaks that I lay my life upon
The device that might ignite the bomb
Explodin’ in an ocean of emotions
A live wire, high-voltage dosage
Shocked, lookin’ like a deer in the headlights
Go ahead take death for a test drive
Tell me to keep my mouth shut and I’ll speak out
Tell me that I lost and I’ll demand a recount
Can’t be the same, that’s why I go against the grain
And let these events reinvent my name
Left in strange places with the transition
Tell me to give up and it’ll boost my ambition
Try and box me in and I’ll pull a Houdini
Uncover falsehood and realize true meaning

[Chorus]
Tell me I must sin and that’s why I
Must I know I shouldn’t but maybe I might
Just look up and stare into the sun
Nowhere to turn nowhere on earth to run
Tell me I must sin and that’s why I
Must I know I shouldn’t but maybe I might
Just look up and stare into the sun
Nowhere to turn nowhere on earth to run
Tell me I must sin and that’s why I
Must I know I shouldn’t but maybe I might
Just look up and stare into the sun
Nowhere to turn nowhere on earth to run
Tell me I must sin and that’s why I
Must I know I shouldn’t but maybe I might
Just look up and stare into the sun
Nowhere to turn nowhere on earth to run
Tell me I must sin and that’s why I
Must I know I shouldn’t but maybe I might
Just look up and stare into the sun
Nowhere to turn nowhere on earth to run
