Afraid to open up this gap
Afraid to recognize
The shadows that I've left behind-
The shadows in my eyes
Locked up in a secret place
Where even I wouldn't know
Tucked away inside myself
That is where you go
Forgiven but not forgotten
The abandonment is me
A silhouette of what once was
Never to be set free
Should I think about you
I could just fall apart
Lose the fire; lose the grip
Beating in my foreign heart
Breaking away is empty
Lost among perfection
Building up a wall
Leading to my redemption
If I let you in again
Will I stand on my own two feet
Or fall to you; my weakness
Finally face defeat
An example left unnoticed
Can you see me here?
All my glory stripped away
Wishing you were near
And if you could
What would you think
Here and now
I'm on the brink
Of losing me, myself, and I
To the current of the past
You've broken out of your cage
Must do something fast
