Tuomion Airut AI : Gate

[Verse 1] Old criminal, old bones Standing where the wind cuts cold Prison gate in behind like those 25 years I’m free, but it feels like something is missing Twenty-five years ate my name Took my face, took my shame I came out with empty hands And a heart that barely stands [Pre-Chorus] I looked left, I looked right No one left in sight Not a face from my old life Just this cut in the night [Chorus] 25 years, I dreamed this day Now it’s here, now it’s here I understood there is nothing here to me Nothing here, nothing here No roof above my head No one alive from my past I turn back, banging that rusted gate Useless, useless, at last [Verse 2] The yard lights glow on my skin Like they know what I’ve been My shoes hit dust, then stop At the edge of what I lost I got the world, but it’s thin Like a note with the edge torn in If freedom’s meant to feel this way Why won’t my own feet stay? [Pre-Chorus] I hear the lock in my mind Still turning every time I can walk, I can leave But I don’t know where to be [Chorus] 25 years, I dreamed this day Now it’s here, now it’s here I understood there is nothing here to me Nothing here, nothing here No roof above my head No one alive from my past I turn back, banging that rusted gate Useless, useless, at last [Bridge] I learned the dark real well Learned how to live in hell But the hardest thing I’ve found Is this silence all around If I call my own name Will it sound the same? Or just echo down the lane Like a man who broke in vain [Final Chorus] 25 years, I dreamed this day Now it’s here, now it’s here I understood there is nothing here to me Nothing here, nothing here No roof above my head No one alive from my past I turn back, banging that rusted gate Useless, useless, at last 25 years, I dreamed this day Now it’s here, now it’s here I walked out clean, but I’m still locked in Still locked in, still locked in
