Will Wood and the Tapeworms - Dr. Sunshine Lives! (R.I.P Dr. Emoto) lyrics

When did I become afraid of the dark?
Are my eyeballs just yet
To adjust to seeing the light?
The room I’m in is still the same
 the shadows have not rearranged it
No, the only thing that’s changed is
How I see at night
I fumble for the switch and
Strap on infrareds and wish
For sunshine when the
Morning’s somewhere else
But I can’t change what time it
Is or dilate my irises only what I look at
And I’m looking at myself

I am not the sunshine
I am not the moon at night
Well who else could I be
When I can hardly see?
I am not the sunshine
I am not the moon at night
I’m no one if I’m nowhere in between
When did I become afraid of the dark?
Was it when I left the cave
And swore I’d never go back?
If we can’t see each other
Then there’s no more use for hiding
I’ve decided I’ll abide it
Why deny the color black? I’m not a flower
Not a solar powered calculator
Damn my eyes for seeing what’s not there
I’ll trade in vision for
A practiced intuition
Till my fears come to fruition I’m not scared

I am not the sunshine
I am not the moon at night
Well who else could I be
When I can hardly see?
I am not the sunshine
I am not the moon at night
I’m no one if I’m nowhere in between

The future must know where you’ve been
The past predicts the state you’re in
The present did and will not last
Is, isn’t, was, have, hasn’t, has

All that I know is keep those empty frames
If nobody’s in them, then no one is to blame
For your self-portrait's, sign another name
Who can I be now, if I’ll never be the same?

I will be my sunshine
I will be my moon at night
Well who else could I be
When I can hardly see?
I will be my sunshine
I will be my moon at night
I’m nowhere now, there’s no one now to be
And if dreams can come true
What does that say about nightmares?
I’ll stay awake tonight
