Sunshine Dust

One hand casts the shadow One hand holds the flame I can hear it coming But I don't hold fear and pain An echo in the distance That familiar empty space Turning from the light I step into my shame So I believe, somehow, if I step closer To the fear and doubt that I'll grow further I will not remain in light And I'll grow scars that elevate the mind Now I believe I know I've grown conscious In the space, but I could reset further I cannot remain in light So I go far enough away and find I feel the stillness coming I am but form in place The world I know's soon ending This is the only way And still I wait to illuminate my fate The road's descending on me To spare me from the pain Will you pray for me As I fight through the rain I can hardly see what I can become I don't wanna die I don't wanna wonder I've been cast aside as I hope for something So I believe somehow if I step closer To the fear and doubt that I'll grow further I will not remain alight And I'll grow scars that elevate the mind Now I believe I know I've grown conscious In the space but I could reset further I cannot remain in light So I go far enough away and find One hand held toward the daylight One hand traces a line Both hands bleed I'm alight My shape cast is my guide I'm breathing but inside I'm chained to my darkness I know this is my fight I'll change I will grow I will make myself one life I'll become the daylight So I believe somehow if I step closer To the fear and doubt that I'll grow further I will not remain alight And I'll grow scars that elevate the mind Now I believe I know I've grown conscious In the space but I could reset further I cannot remain in light So I go far enough away I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I've been lost here I will free the slave I've been a follower Who could lead but chose to be here now I will shout my name And find peace with my soul in hand I will scream here For the hope I gain My distress will bear From my will the blade I will reach out I will hold that reign And carve my name in stone and die I really wanna believe, somehow if I step closer To the fear and doubt that I'll grow further I will not remain in light And I'll grow scars that elevate the mind Now I believe, I know, I've grown conscious In this space, but I can reset further I cannot remain in light So I go far enough away, and I...
