Lyrics

I used to be broken like you
Jutta?
Jutta, you were broken?
I used to be broken like you
Out there in the world
I was too much too
Nobody listened when I tried to scream
All I've ever wanted is to be free
How are you free? You're locked up, literally!
In here, I am in control
In here, I am in control
Out there, I had everything people out there want
Money, privilege, beauty, a body
Out there
All my "having" made me a prize to pawn
A patch to plow on a fertile lawn
An empty page to be written on
But all I've ever wanted is to be free
This is the only place I could go to get myself under control
To make myself whole
And now, I'm gonna show you how
Wow, really?
You will be whole...
You will be whole...
When you are whole, you will be like me
When you are whole, you will move confidently
Through your life
And you will understand how the boulder becomes sand
And you will know how to not become sand
When you are whole, you will never be scared
When you are whole, you will always be prepared
For a dragon's attack!
And you will slay the beast... or scare him away at least
And you will never again be the least
Why do you want to help me?
Why do you care?
Nobody believes I can be repaired!
I did something wrong!
I'm bad!
There's a reason I'm shattered!
I'll show you how to move on
And prove that you're strong
What happened in the past doesn't matter
If you are whole, what are you doing in here?
Why don't you leave?
I will never go back
There's nothing out there for me
I'm here to find the truth, and the truth will set me free
Because if I can teach you how to be whole
I will see the light
That is my goal
When I see the light, I will be free
When I see the light, I will erase my history
For good, and I will be made new
And will be among the few
And I will be of virtue
But there's no light in here!
What do you think you'll find?
It's different, it's something I could see, even if I were blind
It's only in this cell that I can find the light
And only if you do everything right
I used to be broken like you
How did you break?
What did you do?
It doesn't matter now
What matters is, I'm not broken now
I can be whole
I can be whole
It isn't easy work. You have to get down in the dirt
I can do that!
Can you?
I will
I will work until I die, if I have to
That's the right attitude
This is how you become whole
You get yourself under control
I will be whole
I will be whole
