hooo...

I once lit the world with open eyes

Drew sun on walls, believed in skies

My hands were small, but full of grace

Hope danced wild across my face...

But time is cruel, and dreams decay

And love... it always walks away...

mmm....

Now I breathe, but don’t (feel)

I speak, but it’s not real

I’m a shadow in the light

Ashes of the child I (used to be...)

Still trapped in me...

mmm..

hoo...

I gave too much, and took too few

Waited for hearts that never grew

The world grew cold, I built a wall

And learned not to feel at all...

I dressed my wounds in silence deep

And taught my soul to fall asleep

Now I breathe, but don’t feel

I speak, but it’s not real

I’m a shadow in the light

Ashes of the child I used to be...

Still trapped in me

Don’t you see me?

Don’t you hear me?

I’m still inside, I never died

Just buried underneath the cries...

mmm..

yeahhh..

Now I breathe, I try to feel

I fight for something real

I’m not gone — just bruised by time

Ashes of the child I used to be...

Still here in me...

Still here in me...

Still here...
