Face the Sun

How am I supposed to breathe, when the air is thickest here? At this place where the truth comes out I need to decide on my own who I am, without the help of the sun I have to face the things that I keep hidden before I can ever face hope and love Two things I don’t believe in anymore This world is obsessed with the short term pleasures that once over leave you more empty than before So we all move faster in this attempt to outrun it Not knowing it always live in us...it’s a loosing fight And the truth is hiding in our hearts, eating at our souls, screaming to be acknowledged This place we're at will only leave us craving for more and leave us unsatisfied To open up is to die, but to hold back is hallow We're al left on the floor needing a hero Not realizing that person is in all of us... So stop fleeing to the light, turn and face the dark Fight the past you've kept hidden, learn and move It's the only way to truly feel the sun
