lyrics

you wake to the ashen morning
painting a red sky warning
waiting on a ray of sunlight

deep in the darkest timeline
climbing the steepest incline
just to feel a ray of sunlight

days slipping through your hands
denying your demands
nothing to help you see more clearly

stripped of your sweet illusions
kissing your cuts and bruises
dying for a ray of sunlight

if you can live through this
cruel metamorphosis
your reward is just a ray of sunlight

days slipping through your hands
denying your demands
nothing to help you see more clearly
the more you understand
pain is in the plan
cont disconnect from every feeling

they want all roads to lead home
with prizes at the end for everyone
but you just stand here, staring at the sun
