Bright Shores, Dark Forests and Tall Buildings
I washed up on the shore
You were already standing there
Like you were expecting me
You made me feel warm again
I could feel the sun burning my neck
As I turned around and followed you into the forest
It was like a warning
The sun trying its best to make me stay
But I couldn't resist
And you led me deeper in
It was so dark
I remember falling asleep
And when I woke up
You were already gone
I stumbled around in the dark
Time went by
I thought I saw the shore
Where it all began
I rushed my steps
My blood started pumping faster
In a hurry towards the light
A twig scratched my left arm
I didn't feel any pain
But then I saw the blood
First just a few drops
Then my arm was all covered
I kept on running
Faster and faster
The light was getting dimmer
But I could smell the ocean now
And then I was there
I was too late
The sun was setting
I could barely see it shining
Behind some tall buildings
That weren't there before
The sun disappeared
And so did I
Finding Paradise, look it up
