A Brighter Shade of Sun
Until the sun disappears
We laugh and play like kids
Then, the sun hides beyond the edge
Into darkness, holding no returns
For a day in sunlight
Begins just as it ends
I am desolate within my fears
Holding on, trying not to scream
I won't be heard
You have no idea
What, in my skin, I feel
I hide it like a brighter shade of sun
In her darkness, under the rim
Of the world, she hides away
Leaving only a fraction of a trace
Of where she's been all day
The change of tides rush in
It changes the sands of time
I wish it would change my mind,
Open my heart to let you in; save me!
We laugh and play like kids
Then, the sun hides beyond the edge
Into darkness, holding no returns
For a day in sunlight
Begins just as it ends
I am desolate within my fears
Holding on, trying not to scream
I won't be heard
You have no idea
What, in my skin, I feel
I hide it like a brighter shade of sun
In her darkness, under the rim
Of the world, she hides away
Leaving only a fraction of a trace
Of where she's been all day
The change of tides rush in
It changes the sands of time
I wish it would change my mind,
Open my heart to let you in; save me!
