Behind closed doors, there's so much more, then you could even imagine,
Lock and key, you'll never see the real me, I'll never let it happen
When you see me on the street I'll act subordinate. but the windows to my soul I'm gonna board them in, you never look into these eyes,
wish that I could even the score just for a little bit, but I know how much it hurts, just tryin’ to deal with it, I won't let anyone inside again

I'll just keep this to myself

The lights are fading
And I'm still stuck inside, but I can't seem to break outside my mind
The skies are vacant, and I’m still stuck inside, but I can’t seem to break outside my...

Trapped behind these bars, metal made of scars, now I think that it just might be best, ( I’ll just keep this to myself, I feel safe with no one else) If I lose this heart beat in my chest

The lights are fading
And I'm still stuck inside, but I can't seem to break outside my mind
The skies are vacant, and I’m still stuck inside, but I can’t seem to break outside my... mind

You don't know what goes on inside, if you could only see, the breaking of my mind's what's breaking me

No I can't go on like this, I scream at my self do not give in x2

You motherfuckers just want me to drown, but this waters getting easier to tred
You motherfuckers are are pulling me down, I shrug you off and I get back up again,
You motherfuckers just want me to drown x3

So nice to see you

I can’t tell how long it’s been

I pushed you down beneath me

cause you’re the only thing I dread

Lately I’ve been content with myself

but the loneliness it gets to me

well I knew you’d come back around

You’re the one thing I cannot face

I think it’s time to turn around

But I can’t go back

Hard to mend

The broken pieces

Of my self

Can I restore

My fragile heart

I wish to leave this

Can I move on to something more

Well you dive right in as I dip my toes

The water seemed frigid oh so cold

so I part these seas till it over flows

As I sink down to this coral reef

I see myself pinned underneath

Please make this stop I can hardly breath

You are the one thing I can’t face

I think it’s time to turn around

Cause I’m fucking sick of second place

Will I ever overcome these bounds

This fear is so hard to take

I wish it was easier somehow

But I can’t go back

Alright

Hard to mend

The broken pieces

Of my self

Can I restore

My fragile heart

I wish to leave this

Can I move on to something more

Bridge:

I’ve built up these walls to prevent myself from being hurt

turning a blind eye to the fact that I let countless opportunities slip through my fingertips

Looping through a vicious cycle of worthlessness and discouragement that I will one day rename regret

I hope to stop living in my head

and start living through my heart

maybe that way I can stop living with the anxiety, and the fear of...

Hard to mend

The broken pieces

Of my self

Can I restore

My fragile heart

I wish to leave this

Can I move on to something more

(Hard to mend)

This weight won’t last for ever

I can almost taste the air

(The broken pieces)

This weight won’t last forever

I can almost taste the air

(Hard to mend)

This weight won’t last for ever

I can almost taste the air

(The broken pieces)

This weight won’t last forever

I can almost taste the air

Taste the air

Taste the air

On familiar grounds, you’re losing sleep
A place to call home is all that you seek
Stranded and stuck, I’m trapped in your mind Walking your path as you try to pave mine With these tired eyes, I will sacrifice, everything I have for what I’ve wanted, for this moment

I won’t be disheartened, I’m not your puppet on a string
Syllables are sharpened, but your words won’t cut these wings

Leave the soil where it lies
Though it’s safe and sound, I won’t let this hold me back. You weigh down our body’s with dirt, looking out for us, but we would rather feel the breeze
And with these tired eyes, I will sacrifice, everything I have for what I’ve wanted, for this moment, I will hold it, and I will never let it slip through my hands
I don’t want to be saved

I won’t be disheartened, I’m not your puppet on a string
Syllables are sharpened, but your words wont cut these wings

Like a bird in a cage, you see right through me, you see right through me
Set me free

I won’t be disheartened, I’m not your puppet on a string
Syllables are sharpened, but your words won’t cut these wings
Your words won’t cut these wings
Words won’t cut these wings

Create your own path, with the air that you breath, ignoring the ones disguised as gravity
Have no regrets, when it’s all said and done, live your own life, ‘cause we may only have one

I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be saved, I don’t want to be saved.

Wake up, with open eyes you're sleeping

Wake up, with open eyes you're sleeping

Lately, I’ve been a slave to this darkness, just trying to figure out what sets me apart

But maybe, I’ll find that it’s brighter, if I embrace who I was at the start

With patience wearing thin, in places you have been

Find comfort in your skin, don’t like the path your walking then

Wake up, with open eyes you're sleeping (you'll feel so alive)

Wake up, with open eyes you're sleeping

The things that set us apart, are now what bring us close

Now I feel so alive, so alive now that I’ve woken

Hard to define who you are, when you’re caught up in the dark

Some times it gets hard to see, the flint that began the spark

We’re chasing after ourselves, but it’s hard to keep pace

So tell me what does it take to finally feel in place

Take their hands off of your eyes, so you can see what they won’t tell

It’s what we knew deep down inside, that maybe we control ourselves

Maybe we control ourselves, maybe we control ourselves, maybe we control ourselves

With patience wearing thin, in places you have been

Find comfort in your skin, don’t like the path your walking then

Hard to define who you are, when you’re caught up in the dark

Some times it gets hard to see, the flint that began the spark

We’re chasing after ourselves, but it’s hard to keep pace

So tell me what does it take to finally feel in place

Wake up, with open eyes you're sleeping (You'll feel so alive)

Wake up, with open eyes you're sleeping

Lie to my self

When I say it’s okay

I feel held down

And I can’t get away from the silent

Silent screams I can hear

Fall like leaves now

Now that winter is here

I pray you will change someday

You're so cold

Like the season

Yeah you led me astray

I need the strength to escape

Running from something

Chasing the sun just to see

If I can wake up

If this could all be a dream

My heart has been perished

By the one that I cherished

And that’s the hardest thing to admit to myself

The bruises and embarrassment

They fail in comparison

To scars you can not see inside

And will to get help

But I won’t

I won’t stay quiet anymore

Running from something

Chasing the sun just to see

If I can wake up

If this could all be a dream

In this skin that you left me in

Running from something

Running from something

Even though it’s said and done

There's the gaslight

And it’s burning

Such a burden

Running from something

Chasing the sun just to see

If I can wake up

If this could all be a dream

In this skin that you left me in

Running from something

Running from something

But now it’s clear to see

That person wasn’t me

It’s just who you the artist sketched and sculpted me to be

Your heartless masterpiece

The stress that you release

Dissect me piece by piece
