Sunsets Music Video:

Here is the super rushed music video of Sunsets Forever. It was shot by Cameron to enter into a competition for school. We thought it would be nice to put online. We suggest that you download the hi res version if you have DSL or higher. The 'lo res' version is pretty crappy. If the links below do not start the download, right-click them and save the file to your disk.

Lyrics

The Right Door
It’s funny how I stand her with two doorways at my feet. And in each sweaty hand a different doorknob set in each. The sweat beads on my face. The decisions I must make. Neither door seems right but one seems less wrong. And I can’t find my way. But there’s no way I can stay. The door that I want to take. The door that’s on the right holds either my greatest love, or maybe my biggest fright. So I take the door on the left. Behind it is pitch black. I can’t find my way so I’m turning and heading back. And oh the thoughts in my head. The thoughts that run in my head. The crossroads of no more pretend leads me away from a bleak dead end. The sweat beads on my face. The decisions I must make. Neither door seems right but one seems less wrong. But after my mistake this door could seem no more right. It’s scary yes I know but I’m ready here I go through the door.

Sunsets.
Don’t ask to follow me cause I will follow you for ever and ever. Today’s another day in our infinate youth nothing is better. The grass touches my feet and I’m laughing underneath. The jinx on you is my because you are all I see when we’re together. I’m hoping today’s the day. This time will catch today. Saying whatever we say. Chasing the sunsets with you. The colors touch my eyes and it makes me realize I don’t even care about my past regrets cause now it’s do or die and there’s you everywhere. It’s time for you to fly and tomorrow never dies. The sunset’s here again. Let’s chase it until the end for ever and ever.

Illin’
Blood shot eyes that itch inside my head. My throat’s on fire and my head feels light again. Well it’s been a while since I felt like this. I woke up this morning and I smelled like piss. I hate everything and it hates me back cause I think I’m ill and I feel like crap. My head’s gone bad there’s bitter thoughts inside. Leave me alone cause this hate’s as good as mine. Just shut me off and go away. Maybe I’ll be better in another day. So just go to hell I’m already there, just hangin’ chillin’ illin’ as if I could care. Go away. Leave me alone. I can’t stand eternity and eternity is done. Go away and leave me here. Another angry decency. A blank contradictin is surrounding my. Well I’m looking forward and I’m looking back and I can’t see anything but your dumb ass. Another fine day to watch this jerk say that I’m ill tomorrow but I’m sick today.

Live Today
A touch is worth a thousand sentiments. The sentiments that touch me now again. Enough is not enough but ignorance. You don’t know what you have until its gone. Well the clock is ticking faster every day. But I’m still here and so are you. But when time is mine and I only have one chance. A memory is but a memory. But a day to live is worth everything to me. The road of life leads you to taste the stars. So I play this song for you on my guitar. The winding road leads all of us away. And I’m wondering if we’ve never lived today. But when time is mine and all I have is once chance. Well time will pass the time that’s for my friends and I never want now to end. But when time is min and all I have is one chance.

Big Poop
We’re coming home to blow you away. We’re packing our home made destiny. Come one come all to our big top of dreams. From where I’m standing it seems we’re standing atop a mountain of peers. The ones who explode with a mouthful of cheers. We’re coming up fast and staking our claim because now we’re more than a name. nothing will take it away. Cause I don’t know what you’ve been thinking but pop this in and take a listen. We’re playing with our new adition, you better watch your ears. We’re coming home to blow you away. We’re packing our home made destiny. And if you got something to say I will eat your face.

L.A.F.
Sitting here not getting done. Makes me feel so dumb. It’ll come back I know but I don’t let it show. It’s getting to be to much for me to handle. Spotlight alright laugh about it. I won’t look down on anyone. But then again I won’t look up. Been set down big frown sorry I’m a let down. I made you be a lifeguard when I was gonnay drown. Maybe in a few years we can laugh about it. Maybe in a few years. Maybe after three pints of our tears. Maybe I’ll give it a go. Maybe you’ll see it show. Maybe we can laugh about it.

Tomorrow’s Ours
He's got a message, he's got a gun. He's got advice for everyone. But the perfect politics wont stop the sand from falling down, now. They say he knows but we know he's lost. His fingers clutch around the cross. One dead for us, he says, but no. We wont have it, now. A world of unknown consequences. But just remember, tomorrow's ours, now. The tiger's tail's caught in the door. The claw marks stretch across the floor. The stars in its eyes are fading, stripes are bound into a knoose now. It was a sigh, now it's a yell. Gather round, kids, and time will tell a story of repeats, but no. We wont hear it now. A world of unknown consequences. But just remember, tomorrow's ours now.

Shaggy Man
A shaggy boy with his shaggy clothes and his shaggy hair caused shaggy wear to his shaggy life. But the boy he had one wish. He wished he’d play his shiny guitar. And that shaggy boy became a shaggy man and he played his guitar better than anyone can. Everyone else told that man to get a job. They said don’t be shaggy be all you can be. He said well thank you all and maybe I will but I’ll play my guitar until my finger’s bleed. And that shaggy man did just what he said. He played till his finger’s bled every day of his life. That man died happily. He always was shaggy and now he rests in peace along side his shiny guitar.

California
I’ve been gone for too long and I’m coming back home. Nothing can keep me from the place I know. I’ve earned it. I want it. My sweet paradise. Where both sun and the fog are the norm in the sky. A place that I see and Ihold in my dreams. The golden gates mean I’m free. Back to California. Back to California. She’s lady California. Please kiss me California. The sky's always blue. The sea is always green. The beauty stretches past what my eyes can see. I love it. I crave it my home and my dream. To be with the one who’s always been there for me. A face that I see and hold in my dreams. It’s true now that I’m back in the arms of California.

Johnny Said
When Johnny was a boy he didn’t have a single worry in his mind. But he was an expert at wasting away his time. But now Johnny’s a little older. And now he has a worry in his mind cause now he sees that he wastes away his life. Johnny said get this voice out of my head. It makes me loose control because of what he said. Running from the future that’s to come Johnny still aboy about to become a man. Can’t depend on what will make his end. Stuck in the road that will one day lead to his. Tell me what does Johnny want. He knows but he doesn’t know how to get it crying his tears of confusion. But tell me what does Johnny need. He needs everything that he didn’t need before bleeding the blood of disillusion. Running away from his life. Johnny’s stuck on the feelings he has inside. But he’s lost for words so he writes what he can’t say. But now he knows he was wrong. Johnny’s changing and he’s changing for the good. So let’s hope that he’ll be okay.

New Years Day
Walking all over my old stomping ground wondering will I ever leave. I used to think that I’d be forever young but it seems I’ve been deceived. Resolutions that I never keep and new ones I shall make. I blink and miss somethink that I can’t get back because tomorro’s new years day. The world is changing right in front of me and I don’t care. But when I close my eyes I’m all alone so do I dare. Second chances start all over again beckoning the next bad move. When we go, we go nowhere fast. Tomorrow comes to soon. Shouting loud. Live in the now. Listen to what I have to say. Slowly time zooms right in front of me and I’m looking toward new years day.

The End
Stuck at home all alone and there’s nothing left to do and I want to get away. I fucked myself over and it’s come around again. Another mistake in a senseless life. And in the back of my mind a faint voice is screaming it’s the end. Another day wastes away and it feels like a year and I got to get away. It’s not all that bad except knowing that I can’t. And I hate having no one else to blame except the fucking mirror and the reflection that screams it’s the end. It’s all my fault and I’m gonna fix it. But I’m not gonna lie I hate this stupid bull shit. It’s all my fault and I’m gonna fix it with hard work cause it’s down to the last push it’s the end.
