Long I've waited for the ground to open up
Feet to betray me at the first untested step
Missed the sunrise
Hidden meridian
Never thinking to look up
So I walked along in my own shadow
Comforting familiar dark
Trying to stay in
To keep the glow from my skin
Holding you in my shadow
Greeted the sun every day, as easily
As landing on the moon, alone and falling free
Hidden dark side
Of an empty world
Never could I see the light
Envied all for being other than me
Pushed away, believing I couldn't keep
Missed my apex
Craving sunsets
Never hoping to wake up
You showed me the sky
When I thought there was no way but down
You gave me a why
When reason wasn't keeping me around
I need you now, so stick around
