Lyrics

A Dark Tunnel

I'll take it out on modern times and a shoot a gun

I'll shoot down every person that I wanna love

If you wanna see the the sun it's rising up, up

I'll shoot down every person that I wanna love

Control a different body since you came to life

Projections on the screen a walking suicide

Don't try to tell me that you love me 'cause you don't

Don't try to tell me that you love me 'cause you don't

You're gonna see the man in the sky

You've got your lover wondering why

Why

Your love is waiting up in the sky

A wave of faces in your eyes

Eyes

I'll bite the head off every little mourning dove

Crucify my love and drink my baby's blood

Don't try to tell me that you love me 'cause you don't

Don't try to tell me that you love me 'cause you don't

You're gonna see the man in the sky

You've got your lover wondering why

Why

Your love is waiting up in the sky

A wave of faces in your eyes

Eyes

Hello one more time

Uh... I know I just sent you a bunch of these

I just wanted to... thank you... again

For being a friend... yesterday

And helping me... out and talking with me

About... my life

Bye

You're gonna see the man in the sky

You've got your lover wondering why

Why

Your love is waiting up in the sky

A wave of faces in your eyes

Eyes

Stripping back the influences and coming up with a more coherent sound might have helped.
