The neon lights

are burning bright

Darkness feeds into the night

I'm swimming towards the sun

In every chaos there's control

Every silence of the soul

We're swimming towards the sun

It could be easy

To be somebody else

But at this particular moment in time

I think I hang on to myself

I, I'm swimming towards the sun

And

I, I'm not the only one

People say, forget me not

Bullets through the flesh, they're sharp

I'm swimmin' towards the sun

And every day's another day

But every angel ain't the one

Still swimmin' towards the sun
