Captured

We were captured en route to escape

And time got angry and wrote down our names

It takes courage to stay in one place

To feel loved as a prisoner

I'm not staying down

I'm just learning how to get up, no

I'm brave in fixed amounts

Is it escape if you break me out? Mm

A passing thought from my childhood

Became a chain on my heels

Now there's not enough firewood

To heat the last spark on my feet

Please be gentle now

I'm still learning how to grow up, no

I live in fixed amounts

Is it escape if you break me out?

I know you've crafted a key now

But you should hide it from me

I need to find my own way out

A tree should grow its own leaves

I just want my own freedom

From all the trials and thieves

But even once I have lost them

It's time that takes more of me

I need you there as I fade out

To prove I once was complete

They'll ask you how I was captured and freed

You can say I found love in between

You can say I found love in between
