Downstairs to The Sun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Can't say what came over me
I wasn't what I used to be
Hadn't seen how I lost control
And I always thought that I was strong
But one night, one situation,
One sign, one devastation
Chorus
I could have said: no to the walk
Listened instead of just talked
And I dreamed that I had screamed
I could have run, down the stairs to the sun
It's not what you did to me,
It's the fact that I didn't fight you back
And it seems I had lost my voice
The one that always made the right choice
'cause two nights, two situations,
Two signs, two devastations
Chorus
But now the cup is no longer cold
As the rain trickles down I feel a bold
And time is calling me to set myself free
Concession is the key and knowing what you don't see
Chorus
