Keeping Out Of Direct Sunlight (an Introduction) - AFI

We are the ones with the radiating eyes
We are the ones who have a fire inside
We are the ones, only we can recognize
We've been rejected, we've been rejected

Suffered the ignorance, suffered the selfishness
Been pushed so far down, now comes our time to surface
Turn from the light that made them all go blind
We've been protected, we've been protected

All arise to what we bring
Outstretched hands, unfolded wings
We've hurt ourselves and I feel the sting
Of broken hearts and burning wings
