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
