I've been afraid
I've been afraid of this life
It's a prison cell that's holding me in
I will stay
I will stay locked inside
As a punishment for all of my sins
I will shout
I will scream 'til I'm tired
And my lungs give in
Or the rest of my days
Let me out
Let me out and I swear
That I'll never need a saviour again
Birds flying away
To the sky where the ground
Can't hold them
If there's a time
Where is the place?
I am lost and I can't find my way
Run to escape
Where the words
Of the world won't hurt me
I'm growing tired
Of taking up space
And the moments
That time won't erase
Have left me asking
Why?
Why?
Just, why?
Just, why?
Now I'm safe
Now I'm safe from the fire
That was feeding
Me a lie from within
My escape
My escape was inside
Of a melody that I couldn't sing
I will break
Every stone
Every chain that is holding me
And weighing me down
I will make
Every moment of fear
Into a memory
Of where I was found
Birds flying away
To the sky where the ground
Can't hold them
If there's a time
Where is the place?
I am lost and I can't find my way
Run to escape
Where the words
Of the world won't hurt me
I'm growing tired
Of taking up space
And the moments
That time won't erase
Have left me asking
Why?
Why?
Just, why?
Just, why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
