Step into the sunshine
Out from my darkest hall
Beauty I\'ve watched through windows
Let me be amongst it all
Let my life be changed
My ways have taken a turn
In sunshine for which I\'ve lusted
My skin, unfamiliar, burns
Pale in all this brightness
Illuminated by beaming rays
No hope of blending in
A signal to all I\'m new to these ways
Tells all the people who see me
I\'ve stayed amongst the shade
My face, burning red, signals them \"STOP\"
Parents tell children to stay away
A price I pay for hiding
Where anything goes, unseen
Out in new openness, glowing, burning,
Peeling, everywhere I\'m a scene
It\'s almost as if to show me
Being right as I possibly can
Simply can\'t change the wrongs of my past
Despite me, for them I am damned
I know some day I\'ll be healed
Adjust to a healthy new tone
Pick off my dead skin, be amongst new friends
And welcome the warmth that once left me alone
But just as I\'m getting comfy
Dark spots start to show on my skin
To serve as reminders my sunshine remembers
The guilt of my former sin
I\'ve begun a new journey toward virtue
I\'ve come and must still go so far
But to biopsy every last trace of my darkness
Still leaves it\'s remnant scar
