Dark Sun

Sleepless nights
Drowsy days
Zoning out in class
Hiding from sun rays

Lies had been told
People so high and mighty.
Trying to shut it out
Closing my eyes tightly

Clenched fists on the side
Bloodshot eyes, trying to hide.
Cold feet tucked inside
Lightheaded, last night I cried

A smile on my face
I'm happy, careless
Sunken eyes
I'm tough, fearless

My skull is hard
My heart fragile
We've made our vision blurry
we're drunk, now high

I had listened as they had drone on
Locking hands, told to hold on
I was lost in my mind
Fighting with my inside

Sleepless nights
Drowsy days
Beautiful skies
A melancholy space

Stolen minutes of sleep
Such a crime
Called out twice
Deadly, I've replied

Yes I'm awake
Yes I'm alive
I'm happy and free
Ready to thrive

They don't know my story
Nor have they ever tried
To ease the burden
Help hold up the skies

I hold myself up
Walk with a stride
I still have that mind
Those bloodshot eyes

I hold myself upWalk with a strideI still have that mindThose bloodshot eyes
