The Sun is Far Away
Crisp, jangly guitars open over a rolling bassline, punctuated by dynamic, expressive drumming. The verses are moody and tense, expanding into soaring, dramatic choruses with layered guitars and impassioned male vocals. Bridge intensifies, then drops to a raw, stripped outro.

Lyrics
Intro
Quiet streets, no shadows left
The night still hanging in my chest
I close my eyes, the world feels thin
Like I don’t quite fit in my skin
Verse 1
I've been lookin' at the sun too long
Been lookin' at the moon too long
I've been staring at the sky
And now I'm going blind
I tried to read the signs above
Tried to name this kind of love
Every answer burns too bright
When you stare into the light
Pre-Chorus
I've been runnin' out of oxygen
My feet are in the clouds again
The light of day
It's too damn bright
And now I'm falling
Chorus
The sun is far away
I don't wanna be here anyway
The sun is far away
But it's okay
The sun is far away
I'm drifting through another day
The sun is far away
But it's okay
Post-Chorus / Hook
It's okay…
If I fade a little tonight
It's okay…
I don't need to win this fight
Verse 2
My head is full of noise again
I really can't remember when
The air was ever this hard to breathe
And now I'm thinking
Every thought is crashing in
Like waves against my ribs and skin
I chase a calm I never find
Still I leave it all behind
Pre-Chorus 2
I'm still reachin' for a remedy
Still somewhere between asleep and free
The light of day
It's too damn bright
But I keep falling
Chorus
The sun is far away
I don't wanna be here anyway
The sun is far away
But it's okay
The sun is far away
I let the moment slip and sway
The sun is far away
But it's okay
Grand Instrumental / Middle Section
(Instrumental)
Slow-build keys and wide pads
Drums drop out, bass pulses softly
Vocals hum wordless melodies
Everything swells — warm, floating, weightless
(Final lift, then sudden space)
Final Chorus – Stripped then Full
The sun is far away
(But I'm still breathing)
I don't wanna be here anyway
(Still believing)
The sun is far away
I let it drift, I let it stay
The sun is far away
But it's okay
Outro
The sun is far away
I don't wanna be here anyway
The sun is far away
But it's okay
(Soft fade, last chord unresolved)
