Sunshine Dust

(album: Sunshine Dust - 2018)

One hand casts the shadow
One hand holds the flame
I can hear it coming
But I don't hold fear and pain

An echo in the distance
That familiar empty space
Turning from the light I step into my shame

So I believe, somehow, if I step closer
To the fear and doubt that I'll grow further
I will not remain alight
And I'll grow scars that elevate the mind

Now I believe I know I've grown conscious
In the space, but I could reset further
I cannot remain in light
So I go far enough away and find

I feel the stillness coming
I am but form in place
The world I know's soon ending
This is the only way

And still I wait to illuminate my fate
The road's descending on me
To spare me from the pain

Will you pray for me
As I fight through the rain
I can hardly see what I can become

I don't wanna die
I don't wanna wonder
I've been cast aside as I hope for something

So I believe somehow if I step closer
To the fear and doubt that I'll grow further
I will not remain alight
And I'll grow scars that elevate the mind

Now I believe I know I've grown conscious
In the space but I could reset further
I cannot remain in light
So I go far enough away and find

One hand held toward the daylight
One hand traces a line
Both hands bleed I'm a light
My shape cast is my guide
I'm breathing but inside
I'm chained to my darkness
I know this is my fight
I'll change I will grow
I will make myself one life
I'll become the daylight

So I believe somehow if I step closer
To the fear and doubt that I'll go further
I will not remain alight
And I'll grow scars that elevate the mind

Now I believe I know I've grown conscious
In the space but I could reset further
I cannot remain in light
So I go far enough away

I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die

I've been lost here
I will free the slave
I've been a follower
Who could lead but chose to be here now
I will shout my name
And find peace with my soul in hand

I will scream here
For the hope I gain
My distress will bear
From my will the blade
I will reach out
I will hold that reign
And carve my name in stone and die

I really wanna believe, somehow if I step closer
To the fear and doubt that I'll go further
I will not remain alight
And I'll grow scars that elevate the mind

Now I believe, I know, I've grown conscious
In this space, but I can reset further
I cannot remain in light
So I go far enough away, and I...
