I'm shielding myself from the unseen above Attacking my skin I cannot run I am useless it seems to have won This agonizing fight with the sun Every day spent forevermore Dreading every scar and every sore Can't face the day in this helpless state Eating away at me as I mutate Covering myself Disfiguring myself Hiding somewhere else Fighting against myself I'll Avoid the Light, as it chases me I'll Avoid the Light, as it wastes me I'll Avoid the Light, burning deep in me I'll Avoid the Light, cutting meat from me Icy razors shooting into my skin Cuts so deep exposing the blood within Healing now the signs show in my face Hiding in shadows, darkness encased Eating through my flesh Fighting to stop its spread I'll Avoid the Light, as it chases me I'll Avoid the Light, as it wastes me I'll Avoid the Light, burning deep in me I'll Avoid the Light, cutting meat from me From now on i will stay in the dark Keep the sun from making its black mark Always watching for its faceless wrath Keeping distance from its deadly grasp I'll Avoid the Light, as it chases me I'll Avoid the Light, as it wastes me I'll Avoid the Light, burning deep in me I'll Avoid the Light, cutting meat from me
