[Verse 1]
For too long now
There were secrets in my mind
For too long now
There were things I should've said
In the darkness
I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason
To find the time, the place, the hour
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Waiting for the winter sun
And the cold light of day
The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building and I can't stay away
[Chorus]
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I oncе believed
Thе tears of the dragon, for you and for me
[Verse 2]
Where I was
I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was
I had tears I couldn't cry
My emotions
Frozen in an icy lake
I couldn't feel them
Until the ice began to break
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I have no power over this
You know I'm afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away
[Chorus]
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Slowly I awake
Slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away
[Chorus]
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
[Outro]
I throw (I throw) myself (Myself) into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face (To face) the fear (The fear) I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
