My Silent Wake - Encircle lyrics

For years I was held in a suffocating grip I closed my eyes, I bit my lip I cried to you, too young, too weak to fly Afraid to move, Would I suffer if I tried? Does the sun still shine like in my dreams Does it light up the outside of the walls that encircle me Is it just an illusion the things I see Through crumbling stone, light begins to bleed As I become someone I do not recognize Caressed by fear, afraid to open blinded eyes Behind the walls the naïve one so frightened Cannot loosen the grip, it just keeps getting tightened I know I saw the light begin to bleed There's a world outside, it lies before me A world on the outside of love and dreams I wish to lead my life, I wish to walk the path of freedom (But) if I hate, I'll never escape The pain that imprisons me With you I learned to live and breathe again Learned to loosen the grip, then I broke the chains As the ghosts of fears fade, I see in perfect clarity Leave behind the ruins of the walls that imprisoned me And the sun still shines like in my dreams The world still turns, but not as once it seemed My mind is clear, my eyes, my spirit see As your broken hands are healing wounds in me
