For too long now
There were secrets in my mind
For too long now

There were things I should have said

In the darkness, I was stumbling for the door

To find a reason, to find the time, the place, the hour

Waiting for the winter sun, and the cold light of day

The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building and I can't stay away


[CHORUS:]
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me

To face the fear, I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me


Where I was
I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was

I had tears I couldn't cry

My emotions frozen in an icy lake

I couldn't feel them until the ice began to break

I have no prayer over this, you know I'm afraid

The walls I built are crumbling away
The water is moving, I'm slipping away


[REPEAT CHORUS]

[SOLO]


Slowly I awake
Slowly I rise

The walls I built are crumbling away
The water is moving, I'm slipping away


[REPEAT CHORUS (x2)]
