It starts with goodbye
\nAs the times grow old
\nMy memories fold
\nThere’s nothing left in this world
\nI’m closing another door
\nOpen a window
\nFeel the breeze
\nIt’s the wind beneath my wings
\nThat lowers this degree
\nI cling to this melody you sing
\nAppear before me in my dreams
\nAnd bring me back to reality
\nThe struggle of the race is staring me down
\nBack up in the place you felt you were crowned
\nI should have never walked away
\nI should have followed day by day
\nI should have known the desperate lies
\nI should have quieted the tries
\nI should not have faltered in my love
\nThe chorus of heavenly angels above
\nIt’s an unrequited harmony they sing
\nI should have known
\nI should have seen
\nI should have dusted off the keys
\nTo play the symphony you bring
\nI should have never walked away
\nWho knows where we’d be today
\nWho knows
\nThis sacrifice may be found<\/p>\n

Or this blessing be shattered
\nIn the end
\nWho’s to say it even matters
\nThis residing hold where my heart was once at
\nHas me begging for mercy
\nAnd still
\nAfter that
\nI look around into a crowd of hungry eyes
\nAnd I see only yours
\nWhere am I to stay if my feelings are torn
\nI can’t breathe without you here next to me
\nI can’t be
\nWithout you breathing into me
\nThis emptiness has me starved for release
\nCome back to me
\nAnd
\nTake me away
\nThis is no place for me to live
\nI’m just a kid without a familiar face
\nTrampled
\nIn the race against time
\nCaught between the lies
\nAbolished in the crimes
\nI’m just a child in a house
\nFor this house is not a home
\nIt’s not where I belong
\nWhere the fear and hate are strong
\nI search for something more
\nSomething
\nTrapped behind the door
\nSomething<\/p>\n

Hidden in the mind
\nAn escape route with no time
\nA purpose under flesh
\nI’ve never known the best
\nNever put it to the test
\nNever had a life to rest
\nIt’s solid in my chest
\nA frozen heart
\nFull of regrets
\nUnspoken words under my tongue
\nUnfinished business has begun
\nAnd the lies are told
\nThe stories unfold
\nThe damage cannot be undone
\nWhere am I to run when there’s nowhere left to go
\nI hear the flow
\nI’m begging to show the world what I have to offer
\nBut
\nI have to get away from here
\nAnd
\nAfter all these years
\nThe place that I hold near and dear to my heart
\nWhere I’ve flourished from the start
\nWell
\nI hate to see it go
\nIt’s all that I’ve known
\nBut my final battle has been won
\nMy past, I’ve left behind
\nMy journey’s just begun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
