| Lyrics |

This morning I woke with the sunrise
With a brand new heart and a thirst for light
I could finally see all the colors
I hadn’t seen in a year or two

And every dark curse I had lived with
Every ghost that shared my bed was gone and I could breathe again

Now that I can feel the warm sunlight
I won’t waste time in the shade of the hollows
Now that I woke up from the dead of night
I won’t go back, I won’t go back to sleep

This morning I woke with a feeling
I hadn’t felt in a year or two
Like everything good I was missing is in front of me now if I believe it true

And every dark curse I had lived with
Every ghost that shared my bed is gone and I can breathe again

I won’t go back, I won’t go back to sleep

Cause every dark curse I had lived with
Every ghost that shared my bed is gone and I can breathe again

Now that I can feel the warm sunlight
I won’t waste time in the shade of the hollows
Now that I woke up from the dead of night
I won’t go back, I won’t go back to sleep
