Stare Into The Sunlight

(album: Never Give Up - 2017)

You don't know what I have seen
And you don't know a thing about me
And I don't know what you've been through
So tell me what is there left to do
I find it hard to open up
So tell me please all of your plans
I find it hard to tell my stories
Please don't stab me in the back
Don't take me for granted like the rest of my friends
It hurts so much but don't tell them
That I'm hurting, because I'm weak
And no I'm not stronger than you think
I'm an open book, I am what you see
I don't think there's many people impressed by me
So take a look inside my mind
I feel so broken and you're so blind

Stare into the sunlight, don't be afraid to shine
Stare into the sunlight, just wanna feel alive
I won't hide away, I am here to stay, I won't look for grand escape
So stare into the sunlight, I am not afraid tonight
Just stare into the light

As I look up to the sky tonight
I pray that everything will be alright
To know I'm not the only one
Underneath this cold and lonely sun
Have I lost the better part of me
Or is it hard to see
Hurted by society's pressure on me
Don't know which version of myself to be

Stare into the sunlight, don't be afraid to shine
Stare into the sunlight, just wanna feel alive
I won't hide away, I am here to stay, I won't look for grand escape
So stare into the sunlight, I am not afraid tonight
Just stare into the light

When the day wears thin I light the sky
I shout at the sun cause I can't compete
I control the waves I can control sea
I hear so many voices talking to me
If I flood the land and everything in my head
Even though I try I can't rest my head
Because the day is too bright and I can't sleep
I reflect the sun it's taunting me
It's better than me and that hurts my soul
In the sky I am all alone
Surrounded by blackness, oh it happens
Will I ever matter, or sink this boat
Without me you'd be nothing, without you I'd be dust
I tell myself, this won't be for long but I don't know who to trust

Stare into the sunlight, don't be afraid to shine
Stare into the sunlight, just wanna feel alive

Stare into the sunlight, don't be afraid to shine
Stare into the sunlight, just wanna feel alive
I won't hide away, I am here to stay, I won't look for grand escape
So stare into the sunlight, I am not afraid tonight
Just stare into the light

Stare into the light
Stare into the light
Stare into the light
Stare into the light
