There's so much more
Beyond these walls
That I've placed around me
I don't want to have to face the destiny that calls
I can see the beauty
I can see the light
I can see the wondrous colors even in the darkest of nights
It's all beyond these walls
It's hidden by painted glass
No one ever comes through from the other side
Because all who've tried have fallen to ash
I might be alone
But that's okay
I won't let someone in
Unless they are willing to stay
The walls are thick
Sometimes I want to break free
Break me from myself
Break free from me
Hiding my broken body
And my weakening soul
If all these scars would wash away
Maybe then I'd break down the walls
I'm ashamed of hiding
But I'm too ashamed to go on
I'm so afraid of what lies beside me
I know what lies beyond
I know it's beauty
I know it's light
I know I could be free if I only tried
But maybe I don't deserve that
Maybe this is what I've earned
Thoughts like this eat me alive
And keep me trapped behind these walls
More time must be served
I might be alone
But that's okay
I won't let someone in
Unless they are willing to stay
The walls are thick
Sometimes I want to break free
Break me from myself
Break free from me
Is there ever a way out
Is there a way for me to see
Let go of all the things that have been haunting me
Is my body bound for eternity
Is my mouth glued shut for good
I'm all that is forgotten
I'm all that's misunderstood
My hands touch the painted glass
The walls that are my home
My fingers freeze and sting at the touch
I wish to be free from this place that is my home
It's not my home
My home is out there
Let me out of this room of despair
Let me out
Let me out
My lungs are not capable of breathing now
Or screaming out
I use my mind
And my walls tumble down
They shatter to the ground
I now see
This is my calling
This is my home
And there is so much beauty
There's so much light
I'm no longer scared
To let my scars be shown
I have fought many battles within myself
They're the proof that I've fallen and survived
