You think I see the world
Between the shards of jaded eyes
Such a delusion
You think it takes your hand
To change the things that plague my heart
Mistake emotions

How can you be the one
To rid me of my nightmares?
Why can’t you understand
That I long for the dreams I had?
Look past the rising sun
It falls not on the wayside
I’ve learnt to live within the frame

Why should I try to see
That side of you reflected?
And if there’s something wrong
Why should I stare and guess it?
You treat me as your shield
you don’t face
your own demons
it’s not that hard to rise and fight

Throw down your pride
Stand on your feet and live tonight
Don’t hide behind
The feelings you inflict on me
Believe in you
And nothing else needs to be said

But I don’t need you here
to cleanse me of the darkness
You need to face the world
and rip through all its shadows

I never want to see
All of your pains reflected
It is the side of you
I always have rejected
One day you’ll understand you’ve never been neglected
Someday you’ll realise you’ve always been protected

You are your brighter side
