Where do I begin A life lived in doubt Ain't no life at all
Carrying weight Holding a heavy mind Blame and guilt course through my veins Like a sickness pounding in my heart Coarse exhalations, from lungs so worn Weathered skin, tattered and torn
What is left for me With aspirations and dreams Hopes held so high Blame, guilt, punishment and fear Leave me grounded, I'm scared to death of failure But I can't let this go any longer I need you within arms reach Oh to keep you Oh to keep you
Charmed by foreign tongues That voice carries with such delicacy Like satin falling from a contoured nightstand A bird trapped in a cage Heart held in a rusted embrace When all you need Is a breath of fresh air
You are a cardinal so bright Flight feathers removed, Trapped in a cage of white To keep you at arms length Is to clip your elegant wings I still haven't found the strength, Within to let this all out.
Holding myself back, A Conscience riddled with regret Guilt rings loud In the back of my head (In the back of my head) Past mistakes i've made Burn such a fickle flame But they still cloud the road ahead I long for just one night of peaceful sleep This uncertainty could Be the death of me
You are a cardinal so bright Flight feathers removed, Trapped in a cage of white To keep you at arms length Is to clip your elegant wings I still haven't found the strength, Within To let this all out
Where do we go from here Does this mean I'm nothing? Where do we go from here? Does this mean It's nothing? Where do we go from here Does this mean I'm something? Where do we go from here? Does this mean It's something I still haven't found the strength, Within To let this all out I still haven't found the strength, Within To let this all out
