Change

(album: Dead Letter Circus - 2007)

I've been here before
I know this place
With one door left untried
There's no way back
I've played this game
The one where the ego dies
There is no other choice, this is happening
I'm afraid
I don't fight
This is an ultimatum shaping life, but you don't get to say no

Change
Stepping back in fear that I will break
Holding out both hands to keep my place
All things are connected
I will try reject this
I can't find my way back home

Reset your expectation
The battle here is for your mind
There is no borderline
Kill it
Shed it

You alone the reason
The architect of all this time
Now you own this life
Build it
Fill it

There is no other choice, this is happening
I'm afraid
I don't fight
This is an ultimatum shaping life, but you don't get to say no

Change
Stepping back in fear that I will break
Holding out both hands to keep my place
All things are connected
Tell myself it's ending
I can't find my way back home

See the world has shifted to my eye
Feel a shade has lifted from my soul
Borders now are fading from my mind
The strength from what was pain is in my soul
I am in control

Our streets
Our lives
Therefore the onus is ours
Our reach
Our stakes
We are the keepers of ours

Tell myself I should embrace it

Now within this I see clear my faults
Standing in my way
Covering my sight
This temporary freedom
I walk to each waiting door
With open mind step from my cage
Concede that I was afraid
But I will

Change
Stepping back in fear that I will break
Holding out both hands to keep my place
All things are connected
Tell myself it's ending
I can't find my way back home
I am in control

Our streets
Our lives
Therefore the onus is ours
Our reach
Our stakes
We are the keepers of ours
