don t despair

André Matos

Before the rays of light
Into a fading bright
Ride up my search and feel again
I just keep still, don't move
The reason can't improve
A sinner folding in my mind

Into the light I'm falling
Nobody turns to hear cries
Climbing the highest peak of pain
A reason to stay

Can't stand the pressure pot
The pleasures that I've bought
They promised me I'd start free someday
They tell me: don't despair
But then I would expect
The phantom shadowing my nights

Into the night I'm running
Somebody please sets me right
I'm forcing kindness, no domain
A reason to stay

Oh, waiting for the sun
No wonder why our lives
We're waiting just to run
Don't need you by my side to
Hand together on the ropes
Why don't you get off the way?
I've gotta go!
