lyrics

Self-reflection intervention
I tried to fit the mould
Head's a prison they won't listen
They make the assumption
That I'm in control of the way I am I know
I break with convention no redemption
I don't give a fuck about your expectations
I don't give a fuck about your expectations

Spent half my life locked in a cage
Wishing I was someone else ohh
And I did this all to myself

Staring at the sun I see the light
Eclipsing the problems that weigh on mind
When I falter I stare at the sun
Block out the vision of everyone
Making me feel like I don't belong
Telling me where I went wrong

Evading escaping denying
My altered state of mind
My heightened sense of what is right
Bring me closer to the centre of the fire
The clarity that I desire

I feel the frustration
I cannot give in to this unyielding tension
Who am I to try and circumvent myself
And live in disguise?

'Cause I need the light
To overexpose all the fear I can't hide
When I falter I stare at the sun
Block out the vision of everyone
Burn my eyes until they're gone
I pledge my eyes to the sun

I see it even when I close my eyes
The solar circles burned into my mind

When I falter I stare at the sun
Block out the vision of everyone
Burn my eyes until they're gone
Staring at the sun
