Everything is the same I can't escape No fighting will Is going to save me Tears may fall Only my shirt Is there to soak They drown me Filling my clothes Living in my lungs No sound comes From my screaming mouth Imprisoned in my own Home isn't tangible Six summers Separate us Still I'm longing For your return You were my fort My unmoving rock But she crumbled And you moved Against your power She stole our promise I hold your heart I carry it in mine But it gets heavy Please, show me Save me, return Everything would be ok I tell my self everyday But is that what this is A cry for you? A plea for Anything To release me from pain Or a wish? A desire to live Not here, but there With you In the sky The moments pass But not with ease A brawl of strength I've persevered though Maybe I haven't wanted to I'm called to by Undying love For your daughter and sons I've lived too long For someone else It's time I live For me, but can't grasp how To breathe air in And not wish it gone Unable to understand My purpose Be my guide Shine your line I need your direction In order to survive.

Broken Promise
Everything is the same I can't escape No fighting will Is going to save me Tears may fall Only my shirt Is there to soak They drown me Filling my clothes Living in my lungs No sound comes From my screaming mouth Imprisoned in my own Home isn't tangible Six summers Separate us Still I'm longing For your return You were my fort My unmoving rock But she crumbled And you moved Against your power She stole our promise I hold your heart I carry it in mine But it gets heavy Please, show me Save me, return Everything would be ok I tell my self everyday But is that what this is A cry for you? A plea for Anything To release me from pain Or a wish? A desire to live Not here, but there With you In the sky The moments pass But not with ease A brawl of strength I've persevered though Maybe I haven't wanted to I'm called to by Undying love For your daughter and sons I've lived too long For someone else It's time I live For me, but can't grasp how To breathe air in And not wish it gone Unable to understand My purpose Be my guide Shine your line I need your direction In order to survive.
