Under an Ashen Sky

Steps from the edge, Calling for a sign, just silence Do you know who you are? Or just believe everything they tell you Frail and weak, not even fit to speak You only do what you're told Locked inside this cage with no escape You're hopeless broken Too afraid to even stand your ground It's like you're screaming "Nail this coffin from the inside, death's cold embrace Will never reach me here. Lock this prison from the outside. I'll close my eyes and pray I make it out alive" Now's the time to take their tongues from their mouths And scream, "I am NOT LIKE YOU!" I'll wait right here for you to come back down, to break your fall And take you far from here. SPEAK UP I'm LISTENING Open your eyes and catch your footing, save your lungs Don't blink the time's not on our side, DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES I'm not like you, and never will be Taking all you can, yet ever empty The hourglass is nailed to the table The sand and gravity etching the end What makes you think these walls can hold us. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THESE WALLS CAN HOLD US There's only so far you can bend us, before we... Break and take our vengeance, and burn this... Prison where you've kept us, and show them A world without walls, without you.
