Intro/Like the sun goes down across the desert dunes of mars The other worlds we see are green with jealous hearts And I open my eyes to see the world abandon me The timing wasn't perfect but neither was the dream Verse 1/The things I think of when I can't ever sleep Sometimes I find myself wishing for just an hour more so I can breathe The clock is ticking the noise drives me insane sometimes I ask the gods I don't believe in for a second of their time They never answer but I think that's okay there's value in the conversation even when there is no reply Chorus/So we grow and walk on gold grab me with your perfect arms we'll watch the sun set on Mars Verse 2/ the sand beneath my feet and the air I cannot breathe sometimes I wonder why I'm even here when I can't speak I have nothing to say on this impending insurrection no one even cares that I've been followed ever since I turned sixteen Chorus/So we grow and walk on gold grab me with your perfect arms we'll watch the sun set on Mars Chorus/So we grow and walk on gold grab me with your perfect arms we'll watch the sun set on Mars

about

This song is actually older than anything on Wavelength, but it felt wrong to include it on that release.

It was the first song we decided on for Velocity, and it was agreed to be the opener from the off. Sunsets on Mars is a heavy progressive rock song about loneliness, unrequited love and struggling to find peace in the silence that follows a cry for help.

In writing the music, I was inspired by My Bloody Valentine, Porcupine Tree and Coheed & Cambria. It shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone that I love these artists, and so I hoped in combining their influences I could create something that is distinct and original.

Very much an Into the Red song. Sunsets is definitely the most sonically complex song on the EP, and remains the one that we're the most proud of.
