My Heart Is Not My Own | Prog Metal Challenge

V6

I've walked through worlds that don't remember my name, held broken pieces of people I couldn't save. And every door I open leads me farther from home. But somehow... my heart still knows. I woke beneath another sky, with someone else's dreams inside, faces fading from my memory, but the ache remains. I've carried hearts that weren't my own, gave them somewhere safe to go, and if there's barely room for me then let them stay. They told me darkness would swallow everything. But I've been there. It knows my name. And I came back again. MY HEART IS NOT MY OWN! It's every hand I've ever held, every promise that I made, every piece of you that somehow found its way into me! IF I FORGET YOUR NAME I'll remember how it felt! And if the whole world falls to darkness, I'LL FIND YOU THERE MYSELF! One sky. Two hearts. A thousand worlds apart. How many versions of myself are buried underneath my skin? How many lives have disappeared so mine could just begin? Was I chosen? Was I lucky? Was I simply standing there? Maybe there's nothing special in me Maybe I just care. Who am I when memories disappear? Who am I when another heart beats here? Who am I without the ones beside me? ... Still me. TAKE THE KEY! TAKE THE CROWN! TEAR EVERY FUCKING KINGDOM DOWN! Strip the memories from my mind! Scatter every piece through time! BUT YOU CAN'T CUT THE TIES WE MADE! YOU CAN'T ERASE WHAT HEARTS HAVE SAVED! If there's one light left I'LL FOLLOW IT HOME! Maybe home was never an island. Maybe home was never a place. Maybe it's hearing your laughter when I've forgotten your face. And maybe hearts aren't meant to belong to only one. Because everyone I've ever loved... has made mine what it's become. MY HEART IS NOT MY OWN! It's every hand I've ever held, every promise that I made, every broken heart that found a little shelter inside me! AND IF YOU FORGET MY NAME I'll remember yours instead! If you're sleeping somewhere in the darkness, I'LL WAKE YOU UP AGAIN! So let the worlds divide! Let every doorway close! I'll cross another thousand lives BECAUSE MY HEART STILL KNOWS! I've walked through worlds that don't remember my name. But somewhere... someone does. And that's enough to find my way home. So let the worlds divide! Let every doorway close! I'll cross another thousand lives BECAUSE MY HEART STILL KNOWS! I've walked through worlds that don't remember my name. But somewhere... someone does. And that's enough to find my way home.
