~Let My Shadows Go~

You keep building walls where I planted roses,
Counting every crack while the whole world closes.
You hold my wings like they're yours to borrow,
Stealing all my sunlight, selling me tomorrow.

Birdcage, Locked gate, rust upon the key,
Your hands around my silence, calling it "free".

I've got one last spark beneath the smoke,
One last breath before I choke.

Won't you let it, won't you let it go?
Won't you let me, let my shadows go?
I was never made to live this small,
Never made to fade behind your wall.
If you ever loved me, let me know.
Won't you let me, let my shadows go?

I was born a fire, now I'm barely glowing,
Watching all the seasons while my roots stop growing.
May you call it love, but it feels like chain,
Every little promise leaves another stain.

Feather by feather, I've fallen apart,
Still there's a wild bird beating in my heart.

I don't need your mercy, I don't need your crown,
I just need the courage to lay this burden down.
If you keep your fingers wrapped around my soul,
You'll bury something beautiful you'll never own.

Won't you let it, won't you let it go?
Won't you let me find the light I know?
I am more than every fear you sow,
More than every wound I'll never show.
Before I disappear below...
Won't you let me, let my shadows go?
