Mar 2013
In the night we plan our great escape
Come the dawn those dreams, they fade away
Oh the summer's end is always so near
What's the difference? It's just another year

Misery is so often self imposed
And I'm tired of being out in
the rain, the snow, the wind-
it howls, it moans

Raise the blinds so the light can stream through
The ghosts hunt for anchors to cling to
Despite all efforts it all stays the same
Another cycle, a dance so ingrained

Sunlight
It's all coming down
"Transcend. What are you waiting for?
God sends? Signs?" Oh, yes, just a little more

Ultimatums only foretell an end
But I can forget so we can try to mend
It's not enough for a temporary refrain
Sunlight, I could use a permanent change

Feel the heart growing despite the pain
Young soul shrug off that heavy blame
It changed, it changed...
It changed
