Cally sings to The Creature

lyrics

Cally:
DARKNESS TUMBLES INTO DAYTIME
TIME TO TURN AWAY FROM
THE CHAOS AND THE STRESS
IT ALL WILL BE WAITING THERE TOMORROW
BUT YOU’LL FEEL A LITTLE STRONGER
ONCE YOU’VE HAD A LITTLE REST

SLEEP CAN TEND BE ELUSIVE
YOUR THOUGHTS CAN BE INTRUSIVE
WHEN FEAR LIVES IN YOUR SOUL
HOW DO YOU FIND THE TRUST YOU NEED
WHEN THE WORLD DECEIVES YOU
AND ROBS YOU OF CONTROL?

I USED TO FIND THE NIGHT TIME BORING
I’D SLEEP UNTIL THE MORNING, THEN I’D DIVE INTO THE DAY
BUT LATELY, IT’S THE LITTLE THAT I’M DREAMING
WHERE I FIND A BIT OF PEACE IN A WORLD THAT I CREATE

I’VE BEEN PUSHED OFF TO THE SIDE
AND MY VOICE HAS BEEN DENIED
WHEN THE LOUDER VOICES SCREAM
I THOUGHT THAT IF I JUST GOT QUIET
THEIR ANGER WOULD SUBSIDE
AND I WOULD BE REDEEMED

I HAVE BEEN CALLED SO MANY NAMES
AND HAVE TAKEN SO MUCH BLAME
THAT I’VE NEARLY LOST MY WAY
I NEED TO STOP BEING AFRAID
TRUST THE FRIENDS I’VE MADE
AND STOP RUNNING AWAY

THE WORLD HAS SHOWN ME IT’S IMPERFECT
AND IF I DON’T OBJECT, THAT WILL BE REALITY
I GUESS THEN, UNLESS I KEEP ON SLEEPING
I NEED TO START LIVING IN THE WORLD I WANT TO SEE

DARKNESS CAN MAKE SOME PEOPLE FEAR
BECAUSE THEY CAN’T SEE CLEARLY
THE PAIN THAT THEY MAY FACE
BUT WE WHO HAVE STUMBLED AROUND BLINDLY
ARE FINDING THAT OUR FEAR
DOESN’T NEED TO MAKE US HATE

BECAUSE YOU WHO I FIND A LITTLE SCARY
MAYBE YOU’RE THE WAY TO PROVING I CAN CHANGE
DON’T WORRY, SLEEP PEACEFUL AND SECURE
BECAUSE I ASSURE YOU, I WILL KEEP YOU SAFE

DON’T WORRY, SLEEP PEACEFUL AND SECURE
BECAUSE I ASSURE YOU, I WILL KEEP YOU SAFE
