Lyrics: Rachel Dara Gellerman
Music: Caleb Tasker Shannon
I once lived half a life,
Convinced that it was whole,
But stacking up the lies,
Trying to hide, takes a toll.
I paid the highest price,
Was ripping at the seams,
And all I did was try fighting
Truth by swimming upstream.
They never really knew me,
And I never really told,
But you saw what they couldn’t see,
And my ripped threads turned to gold.
You un-broke my mirror,
Undid my lies,
Unlocked the flames in my eyes.
You un-spoke the fears
That I hid behind,
Yeah, you brought me back to life.
Didn’t want them to talk,
Didn’t care what I hid;
So much that I forgot
Who I was to start with.
I let them call the shots,
And dictate how I lived;
Didn’t know how to stop,
Just got more lost
Until you stepped in.
They never really knew me,
And I never really told,
But you saw what they couldn’t see…
A faded heart turned bold.
You un-broke my mirror,
Undid my lies,
Unlocked the flames in my eyes.
You un-spoke the fears
That I hid behind,
Yeah, you brought me back to life.
