about

First single from our upcoming album "Raygunning For Love"

lyrics

Frustration
Your eyes are cold, your heart is steel, and I can feel the repercussions of your charm
Oh, frustration
Just look at how quickly things can take turns for the worst and all the hurting and the harm
Oh, the anger
Bury your broken hearts, your shattered dreams and give it up, 'cause love is a losing game
Oh, the anger
I'm gnawed to the bone, I'm sick and tired of giving all my love and taking all the blame

All the lies that you have spun
Won't make it any better
I will give you what you want
And we can finally be together

Oh, sorrow
Why are you always lurkin' around and hiding out in every corner of my mind
Oh, sorrow
What if I told you nobody wants you hangin' 'round and wasting all my precious time
Oh, the burden
The burden of being all alone and knowing everybody else has got a plan
Oh this burden
This burden's been weighing me down and breaking every fragile bone this body can withstand

Oh, and ain't it bittersweet
The joy, the deceit
I'm as lonely as can be...

In the night (a-ouh shalalala)
This cold winter's night (a-ouh shalalala)
We will fight (a-ouh shalalala)
We'll fight the good fight (a-ouh shalalala)
'Till we see (a-ouh shalalala)
'Till we see that we're one and the same (a-ouh shalalala)

And this is right (a-ouh shalalala)
It's wrong but it's right (a-ouh shalalala)
Oh the plight (a-ouh shalalala)
It's far but not quite (a-ouh shalalala)
Out of sight (a-ouh shalalala)
So why does this feel so damn right (a-ouh shalalala)

Why must I kill this sasquatch (I just want a friend to hold me in the night)
Why must I kill this tranquil sasquatch (Our love will never end, it'll stand the test of time)
We will walk this forest ground, (hand in hand) hand in hand, you and me, we were meant to be
And though these winds are harsh, our love is strong when I look into your eyes

My heart is heavy, knees are weak
When I look from above
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Darling, I'm gunning for love
