lyrics

I tried vengeance, I tried malevolence,
I tried to lead by deceit. I tried all I could,
to be misunderstood, like a painting not quite complete

I lived my life like a castaway
But I came surging back anyway

When they said good fortune was at your side
I thought that I was the one
But all that's horrid has multiplied
So I will try, try for the sun

I had it my own way, until I overplayed, the hand that took you apart.
I tried to walk away, from the words that I betrayed,
that led straight for the heart

I thought the storm would be gentle rain
But what I got was a hurricane

When they said good fortune was at your side
I thought that I was the one
But all that's horrid has multiplied
So I will try, try for the sun

Lived like fascist under the gun
No one could get me undone
But this karma now weighs a tonne
So I will try, try for the sun

So shine on me
Paint the darkness
With an orbit to harness
So shine on me, keep on shining
Shine on me.

When they said good fortune was at your side
I thought that I was the one
But all that's horrid has multiplied
So I will try, try for the sun

Knapp's new release is a hard rock-focused album. Although aggressive and melancholic overall, Try for the Sun — the album’s first single — continues to garner acclaim for its ethereal sonic qualities and hope-evoking emotional content. ... more
