Prisoners & Guards

I used to be afraid of the dark

I used to be afraid of what's inside my broken parts

As I sat beside myself and picked them apart

I made friends with the ghosts and the demons inside my heart

They ask me why I will not set them free

They've been trapped within the walls I built inside of me

All this time, I was the one that was holding on

So I cut the chains, so they can go back home

We are the prisoners, and we are the guards

Holding our pain hostage in our hearts

We are the prisoners, and we are the guards

Holding our pain hostage in our hearts

I used to be afraid

Of the dark in my heart

I used to be afraid

Of the dark in my heart

Of the dark, of the dark

Of the dark, of the dark

I used to be afraid of the dark

I used to be afraid of what's inside my broken parts
