(Instrumental)
2.
I have the will to outlast you all to watch the last of you bastards rise and fall I'll bide my time so very close behind and watch you all lose your fucking minds just wait and see when you lie to me if I am telling the truth enough to believe You live in a land of make believe what's real to you my friend it ain't real to me
3.
Buddy 03:42
I'll never be my mistakes so you can get over it or you can just get on and everybody makes a few along the way but you right your wrongs you're my light my little light and you shine oh so bright you're my light that guides me back home to you and they say that I don't know what I'm doing that I don't know how to love there's no way for me to prove to anyone that this love in my heart could ever be enough
4.
Abysmal 03:13
Well, this is abysmal there has to be more to life than just changes chance after change after chance change after chance after change Now I'm afraid these are the days that I have waited my whole life for and where I am? and how did I wind up in such places because what's in a name that's on a that's on a grave and in this life I live I have been so very very fortunate to have someone here with me now that someone someone is you
5.
How can you sleep when you know that I need you close your eyes and I'll be waiting there for you I'm a bleeding mess I'm something else when I'm with you I'm certainly not myself you're such a big gun how can I compare to you? turn your back on me now I'll be waiting there for you you thrust the knife when your anger overtook you look up to the sky I'll be waiting there for you
6.
I've let a lot of good things go to waste some I'll regret for the rest of my days but if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't even know where to begin Because somehow you know something I just don't and It's just you me and you and we're waiting on the whole damn world to see it too and I could tell you everything that's wrong but I don't really think we even have that long but somehow you just keep putting in always believing there's something to win but now we're back at the beginning again all alone without a fucking friend

Sunshine 02:28
The moonlight at night finds me wide awake and all I do is think of you and sometimes I try but inside you know I die just knowing I'll never know that truth Everyone has someone to which they lie I would never do that to you my sweet sunshine and in this life there's no time to think like hey well that's mine just one more statistic coming true everyone has someone to which they rely you know that I would never do that to you my sweet sunshine all the rest live in the warmth of your light but I live here in darkness forever my sweet sunshine
9.
We've been friends now for a long, long time You tell me your secrets and I tell you mine things get crazy things get hazy times get tough but we got each other and that should be enough so one more cup before I stroll on down this road it's one more chance before we find what the future holds I don't know much my friend but this much I know it's one more cup and then then I'll go
10.
Fight it! 03:24
11.
12.
All your talking don't do you no good because you know I will resist you may as well just disappear because to me you don't exist I have no time for all of this besides your a mystery without a twist because your fear runs deep and it runs so strong that you might not make it back throw down your weapons call off your men you know I won't attack I have no time for all of that besides you're a master of combat
13.
Forever 10:02
This is forever.
14.
if I were a better man you would be here with me I guess that I don't understand mistakes I just can't see Lean down so I can tell you the secrets of my heart These trials that I must undergo I do all by myself underneath this microscope I wish I was someone else

about

Made in an apartment surrounded by memories of past failures and present deceptions teasing his psyche, Alibastard had to do something creatively or he was going to jump off a cliff. The bleak outlook on life afforded to him was just too brown and hateful and so he turned a negative into a positive with this, Sunshine for Modern Times. Although the lyrics are mostly rooted in the sadness that the dirt turned to mud was made from he found a way to rise above it and overall believe in the power of love once more.
