Hold on tight for the ride of your life,
Waking up only to see darkness.
You are surrounding me.
So caught up in your perfection,
It’s becoming who you are.
Where have I been?
What are these parts of me?
I’m burning alive in wake of all I let go of,
I’m ashamed to say I’ve lost my way,
I compromised who I was,
Just to stand beside you.
Give me back myself,
Now I am through with you.
Every detail,
Every Whisper,
Each promise,
They took me closer to becoming brand new,
Every step away from my own path.
Caught up with who I thought you were,
That’s not who I want to be.
Where have I been?
What are these parts of me?
I’m burning alive in wake of all I let go of,
I’m ashamed to say I’ve lost my way,
I compromised who I was,
Just to stay beside you.
Give me back to myself,
I am through with you.
You suffocate me,
Your subtle changes,
Watch me break away from this.
Now I’m standing tall,
Here I am,
Not afraid anymore.
You took so much from me,
Whilst I sat back and watched,
But I will not let you change me anymore.
I’m burning alive.
I think I almost lost too much.
How do I get back there?
I’m ashamed I let you take what you did,
I compromised who I was,
I let me slip far away,
How do I make it back there?
I’m burning alive,
In wake of who I am,
I feel the fire again.
And at last,
I’m on the way,
The way back to me.
I’m burning alive.
Burning alive.
