A faint light in the distance that’s beckoning to me
The first sign of life I’ve seen since the day that I broke free
Lost in the wilderness, misty fog my shroud
I wander through this world alone
But then I hear the sound
The purest note of hope calls me home
The battle’s lost but the war’s not done
You cannot see yourself and what you’ve become
I will not fight for what was never mine
You are your punishment for your own crimes
There is a price to pay for freedom that you won’t understand
There is a chance to live without the mercy of your wicked hands
And I’m searching, and you’re searching for some comfort in the night
But I won’t be bound to you in toxic sight
I struggle and I falter through the forest in my mind
I try to find my way out but it always leads back to you
Like fire to the ice, you melt me to the core
Like water to the thirsty man, you make me want you more
But you can’t make me drown
There is a price to pay for freedom that you won’t understand
There is a chance to live without the mercy of your wicked hands
And I’m searching, and you’re searching for some comfort in the night
But I won’t be bound to you in toxic sight
I’ve been waiting for so long for you to let me go
And one day, I’ll run away to the darkness down below
Free of you, free of me
Free of the world that used to be
Free of you, free of me
Free of the world that used to be
The battle’s lost but the war’s not done
You cannot see yourself and what you’ve become
I will not fight for what was never mine
You are your punishment for your own crimes
There is a price to pay for freedom that you won’t understand
There is a chance to live without the mercy of your wicked hands
And I’m searching, and you’re searching for some comfort in the night
But I won’t be bound to you in toxic sight
