Torn

From loss into your embrace I fled the fear and the dark of day Like an angel of fallen grace My broken wings can’t hold my weight I came so close that I felt the flames I came so close that I’ll never be safe again I’d give anything to find a way To leave the fear and evacuate Come reach inside my inner fear Come feel my sorrow and my tears My broken wings can’t hold my weight Through the dark of day Leave that guilt-stained cross behind Free your arms do it one by one It’s not your fault you are not to blame Your wing-clipped past should not bring you shame And the years that you still endured Should work as strength to see past it all Come reach inside my inner fear Come feel my sorrow and my tears My broken wings can’t hold my weight Through the dark of day All hope’s been burnt to ashes And I’m so tired of hiding the bruises My broken wings can’t take me Through the dark of day Deep cuts will not help you heal The pain inflicted is just false relief Precious moments where you can dream Of a day when you too can feel Come reach inside my inner fear Come feel my sorrow and my tears My broken wings can’t hold my weight Through the dark of day Through the dark of day All hope’s been burnt to ashes And I’m so tired of hiding the bruises My broken wings can’t take me Through the dark of day

My chest is open My heart’s on the ground My bare feet soaked in my blood As I leave you without a sound No one to reach for Even though I stretched too far No one sky to warm me up As darkness clouds the blue I’m leaving I couldn’t live with the shame No more denying As I’ve stopped the search for blame Heading for virgin soil Set foot on sacred ground And with no one to reach for No, no one Twenty seven years of falling Twenty seven winters slave Twenty seven years of dreaming And this is all the strength life gave Twenty seven summers weaker And the autumn’s just the same Twenty seven years... And if you’d ask then I’d deny that I didn’t have the strength to fight that drowning weakness And I buried all signs to cover what I feel underneath The hollow remains of me My chest is open My heart’s on the ground My bare feet soaked in my blood As I leave you without a sound And there will be no tomorrow Won’t see the light of day No more pain and no sorrow I’m free from the words that you could say Twenty seven years of falling Twenty seven winters slave Twenty seven years of dreaming And this is all the strength life gave Twenty seven summers weaker And the autumn’s just the same Twenty seven years...

I have forsaken you And all I ever felt was true To take that step and fall To aim beyond these walls With hope that the stars align To get a glimpse of my goal defined I stare the eyes of my biggest fear Swallow pride, I’ll persevere I fear my heart Fear my soul I fear I’m weak I’m fearing you I fear the cold That the world is yours That I drown your shores I fear I’m wrong that I don’t belong I fear the cold All nights of fallen grace All nights where I lost the trace All I need is that single hour Where all doubt’s erased If I could I’d crown myself each day If I could I’d let myself know I’m okay If I could I’d throw myself into the flames But I fear my heart Fear my soul I fear I’m weak I’m fearing you I fear the cold That the world is yours That I drown your shores I fear I’m wrong that I don’t belong I fear the cold I wish for dreamless sleep For something that will keep – all thought silent All screams of inner fear makes control impossible Tears me open If I could I’d crown myself each day If I could I’d let myself know I’m okay If I could I’d throw myself into the flames If I could I’d crown myself each day If I could I’d let myself know I’m okay If I could I’d throw myself into the flames But I fear my heart Fear my soul I fear I’m weak, I fear I’m wrong I fear the cold That the world is yours That I drown your shores I fear I’m wrong and I fear the cold...

It’s like when kingdoms fall and you’re left without a lender It’s like when dreams your all and all you dream is to see her And everything reminds you of when you were safe in slumber And the circles you wander grows greater and bigger So falls the wintersnow So vivid yet lifeless out of control Dark days and all that comes with it What feels like a lifetime mourned And how I awaited deliverance for what seemed a lifetime lost And days turn to years! Just like when kingdoms fall and the world feels like the deceiver Their words of comfort still won’t reach me, can’t touch me Inside this self-created shelter where no one sees, where no one hears I allow myself to break and really reach to touch the ache So falls the wintersnow So vivid yet lifeless out of control Dark days and all that comes with it What feels like a lifetime mourned And how I awaited deliverance for what seemed a lifetime lost And days turn to years! Shadow casts regrets on the wall I stand alone when my empire fall As I complete another lap I hope I find the day when it all leads me to my final resting place Leaves me alone until I feel safe Opens me up until I confide in a world where I don’t collide So falls the wintersnow So vivid yet lifeless out of control Dark days and all that comes with it What feels like a lifetime mourned And how I awaited deliverance for what seemed a lifetime lost And days turn to years

Was it just a phase? Was it all a lie? Your first mistake! Have I been blind? When words mean nothing Lack value and weight All we have is nothing What does nothing weigh? Lost my will to see it clear Lost my sense of clarity I’m standing in ruins and watch us fade All just because of a lie I told you in confidence And trusted you’d never sacrifice our silence I rise from the ashes and remains of your broken promises Don’t know if you ever were Don’t know if you ever will be someone I could trust There’s too much doubt to kill So was it just a phase Was it all a lie? My first mistake But last being blind I told you in confidence And trusted you’d never sacrifice our silence I rise from the ashes and remains of your broken promises ‘Cause I would never betray my trust and words no never I rise from the ashes and remains of your broken promises Lost my will to see it clear Lost my sense of clarity I’m standing in ruins and watch us fade All just because of a lie I told you in confidence And trusted you’d never sacrifice our silence I rise from the ashes and remains of your broken promises ‘Cause I would never betray my trust and words no never I rise from the ashes and remains of your broken promises

Was your wish that I hadn’t seen you when they came to take you away? Was your wish that I would believe you to make you stop and make you stay? Did you think that I’d never leave you, that I’d be there from dusk ‘til day? Did you think that I’d always save you and carry you on my arms through the fallen rain? And how can you deny me hope? And how I wish you’d rise to see you walk the water Can you deny my hopes when... ‘Cause all you really did was just to make it hurt Did you think of all the blame that you left me with? Did you think of all the guilt that I now feel? I thought that I was as close as someone ever get I was so wrong to think that I knew you So now I relive that moment every day Asking forgiveness for the things that I never got to say And how will I ever rid the thoughts or even make them fade away... How can you deny me hope? And how I wish you’d rise to see you walk the water Could you forsake all hope to fail? And all you really ever achieved was to make me fall into the water And how could you give up the chance to make us work again? And why, ‘cause all you really did was just to make us fall into the water Would you not offer me the chance to prove I’ll change? And how, ‘cause all you really did was just to make us fall

Give me a reason why I’d follow you One single hour where I become you, yeah Unjust prophecies Uncalled for enemies And all those nights of anguished sleep Where you wish that someone heard You’ve become numb to the world But you’re not alone So have you ever felt like I feel? Wounded and never got a chance to heal And have you ever been through what I’ve been through? Still breathing... So please hear my words As I’m begging you to heal my wounds, heal my wounds I’m bleeding through I never saw it in the eyes of you and what I felt was always true Unjust prophecies Uncalled for enemies And all those nights of anguished sleep Where I wish that someone heard I’ve become numb to the world and I’ve become you Have you ever felt like I feel? Wounded and never got a chance to heal And have you ever been through what I’ve been through? Still breathing, still breathing Unjust prophecies Uncalled for enemies And all those nights of anguished sleep Where you wish that someone heard You’ve become numb to the world But you’re not alone No you’re not alone So have you ever stood where I stand? My only wish is you’d understand And have you ever gone through what I’ve gone through? Still breathing, still breathing...

I’m walking through fields of the fallen, alone in silence I’m praising their courage I envy their loss My steps leaves marks of another forsaken soul My choices might haunt me forever, until I’m gone With so much lost in anger Too much built-up fear and all these thoughts colliding Making my wounds seem fatal Pushing my head under water Making me tired and torn If only things were different, only things were different My soul and my inside’s been colored (and there is no silence) Not distant from courage I’m wearing the loss My eyes see the dawn of another horizon My battle it rages forever... With so much lost in anger Too much built-up fear and all these thoughts colliding Making my wounds seem fatal Pushing my head under water Making me tired and torn If only things were different If only things were... brought to me in a different shade Shown to me so that I could relate Lock all doors that would make me stray And offer me a brand new day Never claimed to be someone I’m not And always feared to be forgotten So led astray that I lost all worth So torn by wounds in a world of hurt With so much lost in anger Too much built-up fear and all these thoughts colliding Making my wounds seem fatal Pushing my head under water Making me tired and torn If only things were different, if only things were... If only things were different, if only things... were...

Been poisoned in the blood-red sea I’ve fallen out of reach It’s colored by the mix of tears and the open wounds of thousands Devoured by the strength of waves that feels like flames of fire Enslaved by years in nothingness I surrender to the silence And when I’m reaching you’re just turning Your hands are gone when I try to reach for them Today you died for me Today you set me free But the scars you caused will stay Nothing is erased, no nothing You claim it’s not your fault You say you’re not to blame But even though you died today Nothing is erased, no nothing Did you really think that we would cope forever? Maybe you never stopped to think at all The scars that we wear were not self-inflicted It was your words that caused our fall Today you died for me Today you set me free But the scars you caused will stay Nothing is erased, no nothing You claim it’s not your fault You say you’re not to blame But even though you died today Nothing is erased, no nothing And when I’m reaching you’re just turning Your hands are gone when I try to reach for them Today you died for me Today you set me free But the scars you caused will stay Nothing is erased, no nothing You claim it’s not your fault You say you’re not to blame But even though you died today Nothing is erased, no nothing What if I would say I’m different? What if I would say I’ve changed? Would it really doesn’t matter? I’m just asking for some faith And if you’d give your heart I’d take it To never ever break it But the scars you caused remains And nothing is erased

I know you see me, you always did As you close your eyes you make me fade Do you ever wonder if I sleep at night? If I sit in silence or think you’re right? I cannot share your feelings Your feelings of belonging Never pretend I’m something Even if all doors are closing Try to shine as much as you can Don’t be a burden and they will understand I’ve tried to be just as much as I could Tried not to scream as loud as maybe I should I cannot share your feelings Your feelings of belonging Never pretend I’m something Even if all doors are closing Won’t deny that if I had the strength to I’d be one of you Even if the world was different Even if my heart was made of stone Even though I know I’m different I’d still walk alone I cannot share your feelings Your feelings of belonging Never pretend I’m something Even if all doors are closing I cannot share your feelings Even if all doors are closing I still walk alone Even if all doors are closing

I walk towards the setting sun I’ll prove to them that I am one Enslaved by their hearts so torn ‘Cause their demands needs more than so And when I’m weak then I can’t run Must prove to them that I’m strong Considering what I’ve been through Another cut, another wound What’s the point of touching it? So close you almost taste it What’s the point of reaching for it? When all doors are closing And I wish I could feel it That feeling of belonging Instead I’m sentenced to solitude And all doors are closing Through endless nights of anguished sleep With no one there to hear her screams She’s gone beyond where they can’t reach The bell of freedom sets her free And when I’m weak then I can’t run Must prove to them that I am strong Can’t hide these scars Can’t hide these wounds What’s the point of touching it? So close you almost taste it What’s the point of reaching for it? When all doors are closing And I wish I could feel it That feeling of belonging Instead I’m sentenced to solitude And all doors are closing I too have fallen helplessly Spent a thousand nights sleepless Had every hope of light shattered before me Preventing me to reach outside Stopping me from leaving the blind Keeping me locked inside And all I can ask is why And when I’m weak then I can’t run Must prove to them that I’m strong Considering what I’ve been through Another cut, another wound What’s the point of touching it? So close you almost taste it What’s the point of reaching for it? When all you get is more distant from surface And what’s the point to be strong enough Gather strength and rise above To be brave and see it through When all you get is more distant from surface
