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
Its 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 cant find my way. But theres no way I can stay. The door that I want to take. The door thats 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 cant find my way so Im 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. Its scary yes I know but Im ready here I go through the door.
Sunsets.
Dont ask to follow me cause I will follow you for ever and ever. Todays another day in our infinate youth nothing is better. The grass touches my feet and Im laughing underneath. The jinx on you is my because you are all I see when were together. Im hoping todays 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 dont even care about my past regrets cause now its do or die and theres you everywhere. Its time for you to fly and tomorrow never dies. The sunsets here again. Lets chase it until the end for ever and ever.
Illin
Blood shot eyes that itch inside my head. My throats on fire and my head feels light again. Well its 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 Im ill and I feel like crap. My heads gone bad theres bitter thoughts inside. Leave me alone cause this hates as good as mine. Just shut me off and go away. Maybe Ill be better in another day. So just go to hell Im already there, just hangin chillin illin as if I could care. Go away. Leave me alone. I cant stand eternity and eternity is done. Go away and leave me here. Another angry decency. A blank contradictin is surrounding my. Well Im looking forward and Im looking back and I cant see anything but your dumb ass. Another fine day to watch this jerk say that Im ill tomorrow but Im 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 dont know what you have until its gone. Well the clock is ticking faster every day. But Im 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 Im wondering if weve never lived today. But when time is mine and all I have is once chance. Well time will pass the time thats for my friends and I never want now to end. But when time is min and all I have is one chance.
Big Poop
Were coming home to blow you away. Were packing our home made destiny. Come one come all to our big top of dreams. From where Im standing it seems were standing atop a mountain of peers. The ones who explode with a mouthful of cheers. Were coming up fast and staking our claim because now were more than a name. nothing will take it away. Cause I dont know what youve been thinking but pop this in and take a listen. Were playing with our new adition, you better watch your ears. Were coming home to blow you away. Were 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. Itll come back I know but I dont let it show. Its getting to be to much for me to handle. Spotlight alright laugh about it. I wont look down on anyone. But then again I wont look up. Been set down big frown sorry Im 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 Ill give it a go. Maybe youll see it show. Maybe we can laugh about it.
Tomorrows 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 hed 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 dont be shaggy be all you can be. He said well thank you all and maybe I will but Ill play my guitar until my fingers bleed. And that shaggy man did just what he said. He played till his fingers 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
Ive been gone for too long and Im coming back home. Nothing can keep me from the place I know. Ive 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 Im free. Back to California. Back to California. Shes 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 whos always been there for me. A face that I see and hold in my dreams. Its true now that Im back in the arms of California.
Johnny Said
When Johnny was a boy he didnt have a single worry in his mind. But he was an expert at wasting away his time. But now Johnnys 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 thats to come Johnny still aboy about to become a man. Cant 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 doesnt know how to get it crying his tears of confusion. But tell me what does Johnny need. He needs everything that he didnt need before bleeding the blood of disillusion. Running away from his life. Johnnys stuck on the feelings he has inside. But hes lost for words so he writes what he cant say. But now he knows he was wrong. Johnnys changing and hes changing for the good. So lets hope that hell be okay.
New Years Day
Walking all over my old stomping ground wondering will I ever leave. I used to think that Id be forever young but it seems Ive been deceived. Resolutions that I never keep and new ones I shall make. I blink and miss somethink that I cant get back because tomorros new years day. The world is changing right in front of me and I dont care. But when I close my eyes Im 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 Im looking toward new years day.
The End
Stuck at home all alone and theres nothing left to do and I want to get away. I fucked myself over and its come around again. Another mistake in a senseless life. And in the back of my mind a faint voice is screaming its the end. Another day wastes away and it feels like a year and I got to get away. Its not all that bad except knowing that I cant. And I hate having no one else to blame except the fucking mirror and the reflection that screams its the end. Its all my fault and Im gonna fix it. But Im not gonna lie I hate this stupid bull shit. Its all my fault and Im gonna fix it with hard work cause its down to the last push its the end.
