[Verse 1] Shadows on the floor, bottles in the sink yelling at the ghost of me Spent many nights afraid of my own thoughts. I locked the door and built an eight-foot wall holding a hammer, but the foundations are too strong Trying to smash through a sad, sad wall! Sticks and stones don't break my bones! But my own wall leaves me all alone. I've been broken for a long, long time Time to smash these walls with forces unknown [Verse 2] Tracing every scar, shedding a tear for every blame Sending shame upon my name! Playing out the habits, I thought, set me free! Blinded by a temporary fix that should have left me The fire burnt out, but the smoke stayed. Running from my own self! How am I scared of me? I’m tired of the havoc I've caused. I kneel and pray for my own demise. [Pre-Chorus] Balance is weak! week by week, I bury myself deep! I need to lift my feet off the ground! Tip-toe walking around myself. If I step too strongly, I'll crack the shell. I need to take control! How do I let my own self control me? [Chorus] time to lift the gravel, bulldoze it away. Turning my face to the sun, it's the light I need. I’m dropping the weight of the limits I bear the burden holds strong! Shaking my shoulders loose. The world on top of me is so damaging Watching the ghost of me fade away into the distance. I shed a tear for the broken side of me. I'm breaking the chains; the links no longer hold me. It’s time to learn how to be the true me. [Verse 3] Self-destruction has its limits on what it can hold. I was going to self-implode. combustion hit an all-time high. Burying the excuses six feet deep in the grave I made for myself. The foundation is cracked, but the ground is still hot I’m standing upright on the edge of the ledge! Kneel to the ground on my head! I don't wanna be dead. The healing hurts, but I'm stronger than what I've shown. [Bridge] Learning to be me. I gotta fly free! standing on my own two feet. No more kneeling healing begins when you admit defeat. [Outro / Final Chorus] I set the limits that kept me small Now I stand tall, and I continue to grow! I do this for me! No one else, I only see myself. I drew the line in the lime concrete of the wall I made. But I am the architect, I hold the pick! Only I can bust the lock I kept locked. I'm letting go to set me free! Free for me for the light I will be. Learning to be me. I gotta fly free! standing on my own two feet. No more kneeling healing begins when you admit defeat.
