All Day in the Sun

-What have you done?!

All day in the sun

But the burning has only just begun

Coming from within

Dare I embrace this sin?

Everyone is looking at me so strange

Feeling and fearing what they see as rage

Gone are the days where I smother this fire

Have you all not looked around?

It is a different kind of WAR being declared!

Just because they hide the words behind insidious glares

Keep vigilant

Light your flares

Make way for the others

No more will we hold the weeds down!

Only stoking the flames to free the prisoners now

Prioritize what burns you up inside or you will pay

Quiety suffering you only put yourself in your own way

Redemption is near to those

Seeking discomfort in the throws

Truth - it appears to come and go

Under pressure to grow

Veils can’t even hide what you already know

Witches, wizards and warlocks

Xenophobes too

You know if we don’t, they will take over the world

Zealots always do
