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?
