You are the patch of sky
When the city clouds my eyes
A tower reaching high
On plain lies
Two worlds and I am running in between them
Two worlds and I am trying to find a meaning
I've cried them out, cried all my tears
Said all the words, You ask for more
You ask I can not give
I've turned up places, seen the faces
I forget and I erase them
You know I'll never change
The way I am, it stays the same
I tried to live the life they had
To stop them saying I was mad
This can't be me
And it will never be
It all burns in me, brighter when you're near me
But shadows kill the sun, when you are gone
[Solo]
Sun or rain, against the grain
You showed me the man I am
My hands are tied with human pride
But they are made to touch the sky
I'm not the type to regret
What I say, or how I act
I know I'll never change
This is me, and I'll stay the same
In your shelter I am safe
When they come to stain my name
This can't be me, and it will never be
It all burns in me, brighter when you're near me
But shadows kill the sun, when you are gone
[Violin Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
I have to leave, but I believe
That you are here waiting for me
Can I ask you to give up on yourself
'cause I might not come back
Born in light, I'll die tonight
And set fire to the night
I tried to live the life they had
To stop them saying I was mad
This can't be me
And it will never be
It all burns in me, brighter when you're near me
But shadows kill the sun, when you are gone
