Wolves

(album: Empty Hands and Heavy Hearts - 2011)

Where is the sun?
My darkest days have come
The light is dimming, the warmth is receding
Why do I only push it away?

Why do I have to push it away?
Why do I have to push it away?
Why do I have to push it away?
Why do I have to push it away?

I can't escape this setting sun
I'm so afraid of the dark
I'm so afraid of the dark
With weary hands I try and bring it in
I pull and pull
Why does it feel so far away?

I knew this day would come
But I never prepared for this
Still I struggle
Still I struggle within myself
These questions try to break me in
Who am I? What have I become?
I'm just a broken mess of things left undone...
Still I feel the darkness closing in...

The light is dimming, the warmth is receding
Why do I push it away?

I can't escape this setting sun
I'm so afraid of the dark
I'm so afraid of the dark
With weary hands I try and bring it in
I pull and pull
Why does it feel so far away?

Now I know I can't let this go
My depravity has taken hold of all I am
I am losing all that I wanted
I trusted the one thing that should not be trusted

My humanity lies in wait like wolves at the door

Give me your strength, I need the embrace
With the darkness closing in
I long to feel the sun and its rays on my face
Now lift me up so far away from this place

The light is dimming, the warmth is receding
Why do I push it away?

I can't escape this setting sun
I'm so afraid of the dark
I'm so afraid of the dark
With weary hands I try and bring it in
I can't find my way out of this
So tell me, where is the sun?

Where is the sun?
Where is the sun?
My darkest days have come
My darkest days have come
Where is the sun?
And with the darkness closing in
I'm asking, where is the sun?
Where is the sun?
