Sun, where's the sun
Why is it hiding for some
Sun, where's the sun
The absence of light seems like abstinence
My sense of safety's undone
Got lost in winds too young
Tore to sea unnoticed
But forever present in my essence
Forever

Sense of salt forever
Deeply carved into my essence forever present
There was a subtle call
But it might have been too silent
The need to feel desired it turned to inside blame
And when the calls were left unanswered
My virtue fell in shame
And I became a shadow and waited for the sun
A non-believer

Drifting further and further
I was soon out of sight
Leaving me to a fate
(Where) I was shaped by the shadows
In the absence of sun
Never leaving the haze
And if you never walked among shadows
Or never were held in the arms of solitude
Then you never felt how cold it is
In the absence of sun, in the absence of sun

Sun, where's the sun
Why is it hiding for some
Sun, where's the sun
The lack of light is my abstinence
And my sense of safety's undone
Got lost in winds when I was young
Tore to sea unnoticed
But forever present in my essence
Forever

Drifting further and further
I was soon out of sight
Leaving me to a fate
(Where) I was shaped by the shadows
In the absence of sun
Never leaving the haze
And if you never walked among shadows
Or never were held in the arms of solitude
Then you never felt how cold it is
In the absence of sun, in the absence of sun
In the absence of sun
