Your Light
The light of the sun will shine down
Hiding all of those little frowns
The rainbow is painting your mask
Illusions are an every day task
The heat of the sun will delude
The greatest minds are its fruit
It helps you become your belief
Your sun is not my relief
I live in dark I can see
Your hate, pain and envy
I thought I just saw you die
In my eyes you’re just another lie
The minute that I step into light
It’s blinding, it’s far too bright
Stop me before I am dead
You’re pushing, killing instead
Please, show mercy on me
Controlling what wants to be free
Just because you cannot see
Doesn’t mean I cannot believe
You’ve killed me
I lived in dark and could see
Your hate, pain and envy
I know you have died
So many times, how much lies?
I crawl back into the dark
Your lies have just hit their mark
Darkness is now the thing that I crave
Anything else is just another grave
Lift me up and surprise
I now feel so high
The mask will fade from my face
I’m free now in every way
You keep trying to pull me from this
Why can’t I be with bliss?
