Staring @ the Sun - Ichiban

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

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 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

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 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

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
