​Your bruises colour me
Paint my mind like a memory
Slow down time in my reverie
Empty me of air
 
The razors when you speak
Take me back to hide-and-seek
Find my body hollow, weak
Hungry for despair
 
[Chorus]
And I know it’s all gone now
It’s time to carry on now
I’ve been getting it all wrong now
No longer need to stay
 
You’re protected by intent
Fists beating on hard cement
Told yourself you’re heaven-sent
Crawling into me
 
But my body’s not your home
My light is not for you to own
So now your kingdom’s overthrown
I’m setting myself free
 
[Chorus]
And I know it’s all gone now
It’s time to carry on now
I’ve been getting it all wrong now
No longer need to stay
And I know I’ve been found now
The past is hallowed ground now
And it’s time to turn around now
The child’s faded away

Some day, I think, I will settle for a smile
Break away from these chains and free-fall for a while
I am tired of feeling like my life is on trial
And I've been here way too long
 
So maybe my talents will shock and amaze
Or maybe everyone will avoid my gaze
I've been loved and rejected in so many ways
And it's hard, sometimes, to be strong
 
If everyone gave me a penny for each thought
I'd be swimming in money, though my words would get caught
I once had a voice, but now I've forgot
What it's like to bare my soul
 
So some try to comfort and some try to teach
And they get so frustrated when I'm out of their reach
You can offer me friendship, but don't come here to preach
I have to find my own way to be whole.
