Close your eyes, count to three
My everything is nothing, my nothing is all
Tried to overdo it once before
I’m still trying to get it right
Once I was a rainbow,
But without my sun, I’m left with only water
Darkness in the heavens
Every day is met with endless night
My sunshine baby, you see
In this reality
The light with the dark just isn’t me
My sunshine baby, you see
I have no identity
So show me who I really am
So I know what I shouldn’t be
Were you screaming at God
To come to your rescue?
Every day that passes is a waste
I’m stuck living in distress
Once I was a rainbow
Storm clouds came
They sucked my soul away
Delirium has swayed me
Clarity is something I don’t possess
My sunshine baby, you see
In this reality
The light with the dark just isn’t me
My sunshine baby, you see
I have no identity
So show me who I really am
So I know what I shouldn’t be
Fade to black
As I hear the sorrow leave, saying
“I am to be my death,
Have you understood me?”
I hope to end it all
And not wake up tomorrow, saying
“I am to be my death, the only thing I could be”
My sunshine baby, you see
In this reality
Well something is amiss
Maybe it’s me
My sunshine baby, you see
I have no identity
So show me who I really am
Maybe I’m the type
To go ahead and say
“Goodbye”
