Leaving The Shadows

The shadows that adorn
Your obscure solitude
Hide the tears you cry
You don't feel the pain
And apathy
Takes possession
Of the weak heart
That, even fighting, surrenders

In the anguish of a new dawn
You cry for the end of the night
The stars that watched over you are now hidden
The Sun, so clear, you dare not face it

Open your heart to a new season
Leave the shadows and look into your soul
Keep the shine in your eyes—the fight never ends
Leave the shadows (I know you understand)

You give meaning
To the things you fear
Don't reject
Your capacity to understand
What is obscure?
What can't you see?
Don't let the masks
Fool you again

The shadows that control your heart
Know nothing of your sins
They ignore the feelings
That could feed your being

Open your heart to a new season
Leave the shadows and look into your soul
Keep the shine in your eyes—the fight never ends
Leave the shadows (I know you understand)
