We always want what we can't have
Especially if it's within our grasp.
Reaching for it but it slips through my fingers
The want, the need,
the lust for it lingers
I feel it's heat
But it's a million miles away.

I'm a child crying for the sun.
And if I got it what good would it do?
Burned alive from inside.
Engulfed in flames
I'm a child crying for the sun
reaching for the sun
begging for the sun
If I get hurt I have no one else to blame
but myself.

Some things are too beautiful to behold.
Some things glitter that aren't gold
Pyrite and fire shine in my eyes
Blind me, malign me
lead me
to my demise.
Too stupid to see
that it's fools gold thats blinding me.

Reaching for it but it slips through my fingers
The want, the need,
the lust for it lingers

I'm a child crying for the sun.
And if I got it what good would it do?
Burned alive from inside.
Engulfed in flames
I'm a child crying for the sun
reaching for the sun
begging for the sun
If I get hurt I have no one else to blame
but myself.
