Terra Firma

On familiar grounds, you're losing sleep A place to call home is all that you seek Stranded and stuck, I'm trapped in your mind Walking your path as you try to pave mine With these tired eyes, I will sacrifice everything I have for what I've wanted for this moment I won't be disheartened, I'm not your puppet on a string Syllables are sharpened, but your words won't cut these wings Leave the soil where it lies Though it's safe and sound, I won't let this hold me back You weigh down our body's with dirt, looking out for us, but we would rather feel the breeze And with these tired eyes, I will sacrifice everything I have for what I've wanted for this moment I will hold it and I will never let it slip through my hands- I don't want to be saved I won't be disheartened, I'm not your puppet on a string Syllables are sharpened, but your words won't cut these wings Like a bird in a cage, you see right through me, see right through me Set me free I won't be disheartened, I'm not your puppet on a string Syllables are sharpened, but your words won't cut these wings Create your own path, with the air that you breath, ignoring the ones disguised as gravity Have no regrets, when it's all said and done, live your own life 'cause we may only have one I don't want to be, I don't want to be saved, I don't want to be saved
