Simple as a sunrise
As a day breaks
Howl escapes
Too loud to walk away
From the everyday
To the stone age
Underneath the black and grey
There's still a child at play
Hurts, but in all these thoughts I can't discern
'Tween what is real and what's been gradually learned
Actually, improbably, it is I who has interred and
Burned these glaring facts in face of reaction to my world
But wait and taste who will have the final word
Opposing forces joining as my fortunes take a turn
I stretch to find peace of mind in a future that's obscured
When I could just look inside and find a light never been blurred
I'm not erased
As much as I'm lost
As much as I'm changed
From the easy way
But when it gets hard
I'm calling out your name
Your name
Here we go we're coming back
Gettin on track
Fending off all the attacks
Essence still intact
Still shining
Like a diamond
Bumped and bruised
It's all a ruse we're just refining
Switch it, it's time
To beg you for forgiveness
Pointing back three fingers at the guilty ones who did this
First world problems can't solve 'em
We bare witness
I'm just gettin' of my chest to learn how to live
With no limits
Schizophrenic
Bad habits like anti-septic
Pourin' it on my wounds to
Soothe burning for a second
Flirting with rage while
Skirting the obvious question
What can I do to ensure that the fall
Catapults me to Ascension
As I watch the hourglass
The sand it drips and I won't last
My sanity rips a whole within I see the end of arrogance
I'm pulling back curtains to let you in
Please don't betray the chance
I've wondered so far away
My soul serenade will keep me in the dance
