lyrics

Verse 1:
I opened up my inner world, let everything pour out
Lost my dreams, my hopes, to those who walked about
I couldn't keep my pace, everything just fades away
I was left behind, with nothing left to say

Born, grew up, but dying before I live
Trapped in a world where hope is nowhere to give
A prison cell, with doors wide open, yet I can't escape
Stuck here, watching as my heart gets taken and break

Others come and go, with ease and no remorse
Breaking my heart, as they enter with full force
Stabbing deep into my soul, I'm just standing still
Allowing it all to happen, as my heart begins to chill

The room is wide, but I can't seem to fit
The door is open, but I can't seem to quit
The window is open, but I can't seem to breathe
Something's stuck in my throat, I can't swallow, I can't relieve.

Chorus (x2):
I'll take back what's mine, I'll take back my soul
I'll take back my dreams, I'll make them roll
I'll take back my future, I'll make it trip
I'll take back my life, I won't let it slip

Verse 2:
I'm holding on, to the memories I have known
Hoping one day, I can call this place my home
But for now, I'm stuck in this state
Can't escape, it's my fate (...or is it?)

Can't change the past, but I'll make it right
Will fight to survive, with all my might
Won't let these walls, keep me confined
I'll find my way out, let go of the bind
I'll break free, and I'll make my own grind

I'll be the door, that opens to the end
I'll be the one, that others can depend
I'll be the one, that stands tall and proud
I'll be the one, that won't back down

I'll rise from the ashes, I'll show them my worth
I'll make my own path, I'll show them my earth
I'll reclaim my dreams, and live my life
I'll be the light, that shines bright

Chorus (x2):
I'll take back what's mine, I'll take back my soul
I'll take back my dreams, I'll make them roll
I'll take back my future, I'll make it trip
I'll take back my life, I won't let it slip
