This Long Hour

(album: This Is The Warning - 2010)

Make it go away
This is not the first time it's loud
Shouting for more space
And I can only hear this one sound
I am now awake
Stepping out and breaking from lines
Something has been changed
But not enough to make up your mind
It's setting fire to my ideals
and I just don't know
how much more that I can take

I can't stand in this line anymore
now I know I can feel this
I can't even decide if I know
how to be whatever this is
Take each breath at a time
just to hold myself here now disarmed
Who's in control now I'm awake

I'll throw one straight stone
at a time at this fearful reflection
of my face in front of me, I'll change
it's grown hard now to breathe
I will learn and I will find a new way

Is it a mistake, this is not the first time
it's loud, shouting for more space
And I can only hear this one sound
I can't stand in this line anymore
now I know I can feel this
Who's in control now I'm awake, cos I am not

I'll throw one straight stone
at a time at this fearful reflection
of my face in front of me, I'll change
it's grown hard now to breathe
I will learn and I will find a new way

I'll throw one straight stone
at a time at this fearful reflection
of my face in front of me, I'll change
it's grown hard now to breathe
I will learn and I will find a new way

Who's in control now I'm awake
'Till the end of this long hour
This one thing, that I really wanna know

Who's in control now I'm awake
'Till the end of this long hour
This one thing, that I really wanna know

I can't stand in this line anymore
now I know I can feel this
Who's in control now I'm awake, cos I am not

I'll throw one straight stone
at a time at this fearful reflection
of my face in front of me, I'll change
it's grown hard now to breathe
I will learn and I will find a new way

I'll throw one straight stone
at a time at this fearful reflection
of my face in front of me, I'll change
it's grown hard now to breathe
I will learn and I will try, now to breathe
I'll learn to define, how this feels
I'll learn, I can't wait in this line
It's not who I am
