You've lost the light that I thought I had found

Given up on flight

Given up on and settled to remain here on the ground

Force comfort and rest

Force comfort and rest, adjust to unpleasantness

You gave up on what you had

You gave up on what you had

You know that your greatest compromise weighs heavy in your eyes

I can see that it's something you cannot hide

You fenced yourself in with these white posts

Given up on what you needed most

He clipped your wings, you no longer sing

You allowed the worm to make you its host

A cage is a cage, even when there are no bars

And if you keep your head down, then there's no way you'll see the stars

You've let him become the weights that keep you tethered to the floor

You know that your greatest compromise weighs heavy in your eyes

I can see that it's something you cannot hide

You fenced yourself in with these white posts

Given up on what you needed most

He clipped your wings, you no longer sing

You allowed the worm to make you its host

A cage is a cage, even when there are no bars

And if you keep your head down, then there's no way you'll see the stars

A house can't make you whole (make you whole)

And the bottle won't return what he stole

Sleeves to cover wrists, bruised from heavy fists

You can't say you're complete when what you're missing still exists

There's hardly a shadow of who you once were

What have you become?

Lost and alone

But you live for the crash

You ache for the flames, the pity it brings

What have you become?
