Sunshine

I lost my ray of sunlight
Now shadows call my name
Tempt me into darkness
Beg me play their game

 

You helped me grow, stand taller 
You helped me learn to trust
With you I strove for purity
But now I turn to lust

 

Don't wanna please the nightmare
I wanna love the day
But because you left me
An awful price I'll pay

 

The dogs had barked around me
But love had deafed my ears
Now my hand is empty
I'm falling to my fears

 

The ghosts I buried 'fore you
Come to stake their claim
Again they work to drown me
Bury me with shame

 

How can I crush these demons
Without you at my side?
You were my strength my reason
Now I have no fight
