lyrics

This blood is my own
Seldom held my head high
Seldom held my own ground
Steadfast and lonely

This place is my home
But I'm not welcome tonight
Can't voice my own thoughts aloud
With my self-loathing to hold me

It is unreachable to think
That I could spread my own two clipped wings
That I could reach where others merely dream
And return with pride in my heart

Is it unreasonable to long
For a place where I belong
Giving breath to my most inner song
Without my lungs torn apart

The echo and the sound
The free and the bound
The broken and whole
I am both
I am both
When you're the one in control

The truth and the lies
The fool and the wise
The blood and the soul
I am both
I am both
When you're the one in control

This guilt is my own
Unwelcome thoughts in my mind
Unwelcome urge to lie down
With aberrations to haunt me

My existence unknown
At least the truth I can hide
Chained by my own heavy crown
And the behaviour you taught me

Is it unfeasible to earn
All the freedom that I yearn
For all of the minutes, months, and years
That you were holding me captive

Am I irredeemable to you
I know the things I've put you through
The self-control I must pursue
And now these dreams, maladaptive

The echo and the sound
The free and the bound
The broken and whole
I am both
I am both
When you're the one in control

The truth and the lies
The fool and the wise
The blood and the soul
I am both
I am both
When you're the one in control

The echo and the sound
The free and the bound
The broken and whole
I am both
I am both
When you're the one in control

The truth and the lies
The fool and the wise
The blood and the soul
I am both
I am both
When you're the one in control
