[Verse 1]
It's getting harder to breathe as the days go by one by one
The chains tied to my feet will never come undone
How long more do I have before confinement drives me mad?
How much more can I take?
Before I break
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh where can I go
From here, from now?
I've lost the voice to shout
[Chorus 1]
If I cry out for help
Would anyone still be listening?
If I'm not myself
Would anyone still be with me?
When the day where I am finally broken up inside comes
Would I then have broken free?
[Verse 2]
I feel a fire, feel a flame, feel a passion in my heart
To go on, to go running and my chains are now gone
I may not have the wings to go soaring in the sky
But I'm up, and I'm singing, and I'm feeling so alive
So I try, so I try, so I shout, so I cry
Into the night—hope in my eyes
But there's no reply, no reply, no reply, no reply, no reply, no reply
[Verse 3]
It's quiet, it's lonely
Though I'm surrounded
Oh, tell me
When you smile
Are you honest?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Where am I now?
Just who am I?
Again I'm left behind
[Chorus 2]
If I'm alone again
Will everything come together?
If I go insane
Will I start to remember
What it's like to be alright?
Am I that broken up inside?
Oh, don't say goodbye
[Post-Chorus]
When I cry out for help
Would anyone still be listening?
When I'm not myself
Would anyone still be with me?
Here I am, crying out
From the bottom of my heart now
Can anyone hear me?
