Bottled up and thrown away
Drowning in the deep
This shame carries a weight
You can't sink in your sleep
All this time spent behind the walls
These barriers
Built high to keep away anything that could make you feel
Man the towers, we can't see you slip
I wonder what it's like to burn
With no room to let in love
And I can tell that you're not living
You're just trying hard to breathe
What will it take for me
To put you at ease?
Open up to me
You can't do this on your own
You've been living like you think
That you could make it
Alone
Living like a fugitive
In this world
That's all you've ever known
Faltering further
As you let the wind take
The things that made you
A mountain that won't break
I know you're to scared to wake up
And I'm doing the best that I can
To make you strong enough
To open your eyes
Let me show you
That there's no need for you to hide
Your purpose, your strength
And everything that makes you okay
Are right before you
Open your eyes
And I can tell
That you're not living
You're just trying hard to breathe
What will it take for me
To put you at ease?
This can't be the end of you
With a silent surrender to dreams unfulfilled
I won't let you quit while your heart's still beating
I'll walk this with you If you'd take my hand
You're in control of everything that defines you
So please believe me when I say
You're not lost
Until you give up on yourself
You're not lost
Turn the page and start again
You are the author
Open up your eyes
You're in control of everything that defines you
Open up your eyes
Turn the page and start again
