Rising Sun

Rising Sun

 

You think I’m an angel from the sky

But I’m a demon in disguise

I’m someone you wouldn’t recognize

So close your eyes

Don’t look at me,

I’m struggling to break free

From the binds, tying me down, to the ground

I want to fly, instead I run

Chasing the fleeing sun

Fighting to stay awake

So I won’t remember my past mistakes

There is only so much I can take

Before I finally break

You can’t kiss the hurt away

My scars aren’t skin deep

I don’t want to fall asleep

Please keep me awake

So the nightmares won’t come

Before the rising sun
