All I've ever wanted was a quiet mind Instead I learned to live with all this noise There's no way this is who I'm meant to be I just want to feel alive again They always said it'd pass with time But time just taught me how to hide Every morning feels the fucking same Another war behind my eyes Don't I deserve peace? I won't die inside this cage I will be free I will choose my own fate Maybe I'm still somewhere underneath Buried beneath everything I've learned to be You may be you, but I'm not me I lost myself somewhere along the way I feel the cold wind on my face Like heaven finally knows my name Let me out into the light 'Cause all I ever want is to be free This isn't weakness, it's a sickness One I never got to choose Every smile feels counterfeit Every breath another bruise They say the pain will fade away I've heard those words a thousand times How do you outrun your own mind When it's the only place you hide? For once I'd love to smile And for once to finally mean it I'm tired of surviving I just want to start living I'm screaming at an open sky Please let there be something left of me LET ME GO! You may be you, but I'm not me (I'm not me!) I lost myself somewhere along the way (Somewhere...) I feel the cold wind on my face Like heaven finally knows my name Let me out into the light 'Cause all I ever wanted... ...was to be free! (FREE!) I never chose to live like this But I refuse to die this way
