lyrics

“People I am ok, I am open, I feel ready”
“I thought I’d lost hope but then somewhere I came through fear to an answer”

How does it feel to be freed by the same hands that were pulling down like a weight from all the wrong days that you filled just convinced that the only way out of this place was the way that you came in running or not you were born to face the world that you couldn’t stop with your teeth embraced in earth, to find that your will is no longer an enemy to kill but create it’s the same old energy.

Oh we can feel loveless, and this life can seem so ruthless,
but see my eyes burning red, my faith will be set, armed and ready to face the hectic.

How does it feel to be freed by the same hands that were pulling down like a weight from all the wrong days that you filled just convinced that the only way out of this place was the way that you came in running or not you were born to face the world that you couldn’t stop with your teeth embraced in earth, to find that your will is no longer an enemy to kill but create it’s the same old energy.

When you said it’s over did you mean it’s out there waiting in the unknown new home for your heart only? Trust me when I said it’s better that you’re on your own but not alone, you’re just free now …

How does it feel to be freed by the same hands that were pulling down like a weight from all the wrong days that you filled just convinced that the only way out of this place was the way that you came in running or not you were born to face the world that you couldn’t stop with your teeth embraced in earth, to find that your will is no longer an enemy to kill but create it’s the same old energy.

All is inside.
