Dark Sun - Original Song by Day Of Gray

DayOfGray.com

It's still rough, it was the first song I recorded and I was still getting the hang of the recording gear I bought. (not that my other songs are much better). Some day I may rerecord it.

Just to note this is the second upload, the first was uploaded in early April, it had a glitch in the sound at the beginning. Since no one had commented on the first one yet I just deleted it when I uploaded this one.

This song is about the conflict between my internal and external self and how that conflict with what I think others perceive of life and how that effects how I believe they perceive me.

Lyrics

(Ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaooooo
ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaooooo)

You say the sun is bright, and I say it looks like night
You say the grass is green, well I don't know what you mean
I'm hearing what you say, but I do not get it anyway
You see the children play, well I see them fade away

Don't give me your illusion to add to my confusion.
Don't give me your illusion to add to my confusion.

A dark sun, to cover my tears.
A dark sun, to cover my fears
My mind is crawling, on my knees I'm falling.
My mind is crawling, on my knees I'm falling.
A dark sun, to cover my tears.
A dark sun, to cover my fears

(Ah ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaooooo
ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaooooo)

You turn to me and call, see what's written on the wall.
I didn't know the wall was there, and did you think that I would care.
You say you'll show me, but you do not ask me what I see.
You see your green grass, well it's better that you don't ask.

Don't give me your illusion to add to my confusion.
Don't give me your illusion to add to my confusion.

A dark sun, to cover my tears.
A dark sun, to cover my fears
My mind is crawling, on my knees I'm falling.
My mind is crawling, on my knees I'm falling.
A dark sun, to cover my tears.
A dark sun, to cover my fears

(Ah ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaooooo
ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaooooo)

You live under your sun, while my mind it comes undone.
And you sit there staring, I fade away not caring
What covers my world this way? Well all I see is black and gray.
You say to come back, but I can not from an unseen track.

Don't give me your illusion to add to my confusion.
Don't give me your illusion to add to my confusion.

A dark sun, to cover my tears.
A dark sun, to cover my fears
My mind is crawling, on my knees I'm falling.
My mind is crawling, on my knees I'm falling.
A dark sun, to cover my tears.
A dark sun, to cover my fears

(Ah ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaooooo
ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaoo ooowahoowhoaooooo)

Blue skies above my head...It's not real.

Green grass below my feet...It's not real.

What a fine day now...It's not real.

It's just my illusion to add to your confusion
Oh it's just my illusion to add to your confusion

A dark sun...
