Where do I begin?
So I was lost
and I'm terrified of these four walls.
And if I close my eyes,
I'm falling
With my heart like a stone
and these broken wings.
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
These city walls
of my callous mind
ain't got no love for me
and the effect of my shame.
I want to know what it's like
to be the last one standing,
neither lost nor found.
These iron bars can't hold my soul in.
I'm gonna leave this life behind me.
It's worth saving me,
I'll show what I can be.
And as the clouds roll over the hills
I crawl on hands and knees.
The walls come down in the city
and I scream.
But when I'm on my knees
I'll still believe
Because Heaven's gates open up
and the dust settles around me.
