Lately I... have looked inside myself
Lately I... have lived as someone else
From the spark that was my youth have I become a man?
Lately I... have buried my head in the sand
Chorus:
I awake with the sun - And I'm biting my tongue
Not prepared to begin - Counting sleepless nights
As the night closes in - I confess to the wind
I don't want to begin - Counting sleepless nights
Lately I... Lately I... heard voices in my head
Doing time inside my mind wondering what's been said
Lately I... found truth in the sand instead
Chorus:
I awake with the sun - And I'm biting my tongue
Not prepared to begin - Counting sleepless nights
As the night closes in - I confess to the wind
I don't want to begin - Counting sleepless nights
I hate the sun - I bite my tongue
I'm not prepared - For sleepless nights
The night comes in - I tell the wind
I can't begin - Those sleepless nights
I can't begin - Counting sleepless nights
I can't begin - Counting sleepless nights
Bridge: I taste the sand through lips clogged with shame and tears
I taste the aftermath before I face my fears
