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
