Directly Into The Sun Lyrics

Everyone here is very proud of themselves

It has little to do with achievement

Survival mechanisms wrapped up in fear

Lost opportunities and bereavement

They walk into the place with a tight borrowed face

As if they've never had any fun

In the lives that they've made and the dues that they've paid

Looking directly into the sun

In a world full of sin with no place to begin

And no place to start all over

Most absent desire gets drown out by the choir

Looking over a four-leaf clover

It's a filthy rich town with no time to slow down

Where they're constantly on the run

Through the frozen remains of their losses and gains

Looking directly into the sun

So many balls in the air, that it doesn't seem fair

The notebooks can't even list them

So much on the plate that in a world full of hate

We keep defying the solar system

Things stop spinning around as someone hits the ground

Shot to death by a legalized gun

One more barb on the wire, it seems the world is on fire

Headed directly into the sun

Teardrops drip from the wall, flood the ants in the hall

Forming waterfalls on the stairs

The clock strikes again, someone raises a pen

As the poetry strains and tears

Another line from the verse, another life from the curse

Another attitude lying undone

Drying too many tears, living too many years

Looking directly into the sun

If you start acting today, your face could freeze that way

While your mind loses touch with the ground

Never taking a chance, living a borrowed romance

With your footsteps unsure of their sound

The original sin wears a satisfied grin

Knowing the losers have already won

Living life in a trance, never stopping to dance

Looking directly into the sun
