lyrics

The shine of deadly steel
In a motion, I can feel
Climb the walls of lies
Incandescent like the sun
It’s not that I can win

I shed my home
While keeping my mind
So if it’s real
Don’t take me up until
Wish I could have the wheel of time
Wish I was for a moment blind
I wish I could, I wish I was

I was born to the dawn
With my arms I’m a vagabond
Up and tall I can stand ten feet
I’ll walk alone and I won’t fear
Lived my life like it was given today
But now it seems I have no tomorrow
Took a bullet in my state of shock
What little hope I had was gone

I freed my soul
And put up a fight
So if it’s real
Don’t take me up until
Wish I could bear the tree of life
Wish I was just a little child
I wish I could, I wish I was

I wish I could
Turn it around
So if it’s real
Don’t wake me up until
The morning star breaks out above
Don’t take it away
Just let me stay

The shine of deadly steel
In my soul, now I can’t feel
