Sunshine?

You wanna see your problems glow?
A shining heap of sickness and low 
You wanna wash the world in light? 
Prepare yourself for one ugly sight

What do you want sunshine for?
What do you want sunshine for?
All it does is let you see more 
of less and less left that’s worth looking for

You want to see for what it is?
Just close your eyes, first: picturing this
Eight billion kinds of crap, combined 
Put out your eyes, this kingdom is blind

What do you want sunshine for?
What do you want sunshine for?
All it does is let you see more 
of less and less left that’s worth looking for

Ask yourself: what do you really want to see?
Close your eyes. You're better off, imagination's free
You don't need, a stronger light to see what you can't fix.
Shadow deep, pull the blinds and find: what's there 
to really keep

What do you want sunshine? For

Lost a line towards the end: "Look away, look down. Content yourself with what's let be."
