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 brake

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
You're not lost,
Turn the page and start again
