Awaken I Am - Shields lyrics

I've had my turn Avoiding blind shoulders Take this indulgence It's something I should know These crowded spaces New and old faces Preparing their cages Like dogs around a bone It makes the mirror harder to see Live with the burden Beneath the defeat These rules will always be guiding me Always be finding me I stand on my own Quiet I bide my time Waiting for you all To drag me from my throne I gave you my all All forgotten Within your reach A rhetoric sign to be left alone (In my eyes) I feel I own this right (In my mind) But I'm not feeling alright This time There's yours and there's mine Our place has been divided (In your eyes) By a subconscious line (In your mind) That we must now intertwine This time I won't compromise I won't be disguised By a hand in tonight I've taken chances deploring advances What must I lament for Somebody to leave me whole? Take your toll From patient to anxious The future is letting you near And I feel like I'm the only one Reveling in seclusion Savoring silence Waiting for resolution
