Coming Out Of The Dark

"I've spent my life in the shadows
Creepin' 'round the corners
Tryin' to find a home to land
I've spent my nights feelin' lonely
Dreamin' of what could be
But this is where I take my stand
I might be nervous, but I'm an optimist
It's an adventure, ready to take the risk
Lookin' for monsters, lookin' for family
Could this be what I've been waiting for?
This is what I've been waiting for
Here I am, I'm comin' out of the dark (oh, oh)
Not afraid to show my secrets or my scars (oh, oh)
This is where I'm finally free
This is where I'm meant to be
Here I am, I'm comin' out of the dark (oh, oh)
Out of the dark
So this is it, back at school, still livin' by his rules
How can I find some air to breathe?
I'm not a king, that's him, and no one tells him, "No"
I just need a chance to find my wings"
