With eyes wide open
I see my reflection
For the first time
I'm no longer blind
I've come to terms with what I understand
And I will not yearn for what I can't
I fought to exist
I fought to feel
So I won't change no
I am who I am
Floating in airwaves
My fate is sealed
But I am grounded
Until I feel
Regret
I'm calling out her name
She's turning
What lies within us
I won't stop questioning
All the journeys that we take
Always lead home
I was the one who set the fire
From a spark that faded away
I was the one who stood in the pyre
While my nightmares faded to grey
No one can save me
I only have myself
I am the unknown that's left undiscovered
Fighting to be someone else
Candlelight and silence
Make me feel at home
But the present is no gift
It just makes us feel less alone
Do you feel like it's all worth it
They never said that it'd be perfect
I've learned to see the light in the darkness
I've learned to love what is never forgotten
Your voice will carry me home
When you're here I don't feel alone
Your voice will carry me home
Your wings will carry my soul
When we die we won't be alone
Your wings will carry my soul home
