lyrics

take a look around you
what do you admire the most?
what do you think about the sunset?
or the woods around you so dense
they're not as dense as they should be
cause they ain't wearing any clothes.
we can see straight through them
they're not as tough as they think.

& I think the sun tries to teach us a lesson everyday
but it doesn't understand we're a sun that only sets once
and then we don't know
rise again or fall forever.
so, the sun doesn't understand what it's like to be in our shoes
it doesn't understand a thing.
we can see straight through him
he's not as he thinks.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."

-Nick Tate, WXPN
