Hook:
The grass is always greener but the signs say keep away
so i been awake most nights just waiting on the time of day.
I was lost without a light i couldn't seem to find my way
until i finally caught my sight and i saw the time of day.

Yeah it's easy to write tracks but i'm not comfy with how i feel,
i'm more used to being knocked down more than helped up from a kneel.
I mean i hear what they're saying but i still wonder what's the deal.
It's like i'm forced to question it all, to doubt if it's all real
coz my past's just a long path feeling undeserving of breath
and at times constantly smashed like i was praying for my death,
while i was trying to get a grasp of the emptiness in my chest
and the void deep in my soul when it felt like nothing's left.
It's like i slammed the door shut to sit in the darkness of my cell
with self hatred resonating round this fucking empty shell
after the mistrust boiled over it was a sign to save myself
from the lies mixed in with truth and no clear way to tell.
Then from the darkness of my cell i'm feeling close to somebody else
like the light crept under the door to show me a better self.
Had me running to kiss the light in the night to hope it helps,
to hope the warmth pass over me to make the cold parts melt.

HOOK x2

It's easy to explain it my attraction to the light
after being left in the shadow for like almost all my life.
It's a sign i might be winning i might actually be alright.
That the war's almost over the end it's almost now in sight.
It pulls me like a tractor beam showing me things i've never seen
telling me it's time to wake up to awaken kill the screams.
To feel the sunlight touch my face and to brighten up my dreams.
To let the past just die behind me as i step to future's beams
coz the whispers of hope speak to me through the night
telling me i passed the test now there's nobody left to fight
and after a lifetime in darkness it's about time i enjoy the light
coz i was walking round lost for so long just in the mist
i was walking the fine line between keeping and losing grip
on reality on my sanity i almost fell and slipped
til the heat of the rising sun caused the fog around to lift!

HOOK x2

From the smallest glow of the embers to the flickering dance of flame
it's the light that killed the dark saying things wont be the same.
Saying holding on to the past's holding me back and part to blame
it's the part of my soul that's black the part that only light can save.
And it will if i let it in if i open my heart and soul,
if i consume it breathe it in and let the brightness take control
kick back and relax and watch the better times unfold
as i laugh in the satisfaction of collecting what i'm owed.
But what scares me is so long i was the dog chasing the bus
getting further from my dreams with every step put under foot
that if i'm there at the stop one day to catch it pulling up
then i'm gonna stand there frozen all dumbfounded by my luck,
coz it's that cliche portrayal of a rock and a hard place
to see the bus as it's leaving do i wait or just give chase?
Then the light lays out my options shows me choices i can make
so i opt to change my fate walk with sunlight on my face.
