(Verse 1) The hands are stuck at three p.m. And dust is dancing slow... in a dead beam of light I’ve turned to furniture in this room that doesn't burn Carrying a weight that isn't my cross to bear The sofa holds the exact mold of my frame And silence here has grown rotten roots in the floor I’m alive, I know, but I feel half-dead Waiting for a sign... for absolution... (Pre-Chorus) But there's a static noise deep in my ear A muffled scream wanting to rise The calm is turning into punishment If I don't break this now, I'll disappear! (Chorus) I’ll force the window open wide! Let the wind disturb the quiet inside I’ll tear this shadow clinging to my skin Kick down the door, break the concrete in! Doesn't matter if the step is crooked or heavy Even if the sun burns my eyes already ( "I won't stay still!") Today I won't stay still Today I cast off these sheets! (Verse 2) Cold water on my face to see if I wake Peel off the gray clothes stuck like a second skin The exit is far, but the door is cracked open Before this ice freezes the soul within (Guitar returns with dissonance) The world outside spins fast and raw And here I am, rehearsing how to breathe I’ll trade the safety, naked and sure For the risk of wearing my heart on my sleeve! (Pre-Chorus) Because the static turned into noise The scream is right on the tip of my tongue I won't drown in this pride anymore Of those who suffer silent and young! (Chorus) I’ll force the window open wide! Let the wind disturb the quiet inside I’ll tear this shadow clinging to my skin Kick down the door, break the concrete in! Doesn't matter if the step is crooked or heavy Even if the sun burns my eyes already ( "Get out of the dark!") Today I won't stay still Today I cast off these sheets! (Bridge / Breakdown) Gravity drags me down (I know, I know) It’s easier to lie down and forget (I tried, I tried) (Increasing aggression) But life won't wait for courage to arrive Courage is forged the moment you stride! THE MOMENT YOU STRIDE! (Final Chorus) I'll tear this shadow clinging to my skin! Kick down the door, break the concrete in! Doesn't matter if the step is crooked or heavy I want the world, I want the ceiling OPEN TO THE SUN! (Outro) One step... Then another... The color is returning. I’m going. I’m gone.
