Dark Sunglasses Lyrics

He knows he's lost himself

Amongst the rubble of his past

But against all odds somehow

He got his precious life to last

No one knows the turmoil

That is festering in his mind

Built an alter ego

Left his true self far Behind

Now he's trying to remember

The man he always wanted Himself to be

And stabilize his reality

While trying to remember How to dream

And he's reaching for the stars Now

But there's cinder blocks on His feet

Stuck in well dug trenches

Carved by every prior mistake

He wants to learn to fly now

Still he's too blind to the Sunny days

So he's got on dark sunglasses

A facade so no one knows

That the pile of critisicm Pierced him

And made him feel so alone

He can't feel love any longer

Except by those inside his Home

Can't recongize the time lapse

Or the fact he's fully grown

Maybe he let too much hurt Him

Maybe he can't make it on his Own

He commits to keep on Trucking

But like a deer he's lost in the Lights

Standing at the fork

Unclear of where to take his Life

So he chooses a path at Random

And prays that this new one is Right

He has to hope it works now

Because he's lost the will to Fight

Everyday is another struggle

He tries hard to internalize

So his family isn't impacted

And have it ruin their happy Lives

So he continues on in silence

And waits for his tears to dry Each night

Start from scratch with what He has

With those who didn't flee

There's still a child inside him Hidden

Scared to age and to grow

Afraid his memories will fail Him

And loved ones lost will be Next to go

And with them their love and Lessons

Leaving a pain he's never Known.
