Helpless
So I’ve engraved all my feelingsOn a brand new slate of glassI’ve poured out all the things I knowTo try to help this passI’m in a fight with tomorrowBecause I dread what’s in storeOne day I’ll catch the wave to self-embraceAnd that’ll bring me back to shore
But now I’m feeling helplessBut do you care how I feel?It’s another stage to lonelinessToo empty to be realIt’s a broken bottle impressionToo sharp, too strong to fightA helpless state of everythingToo helpless for one life
Everything happens for a reasonAt least that’s what some sayA reason that I’ll never knowUntil I reach the dayThe day when I’m strong enoughTo carry the world on my backNot the world on which we liveBut on our world that’s meant to last
But I’m tired of feeling helplessBut do you care how I feel?It’s another stage to lonelinessToo empty to be realIt’s a broken bottle impressionToo sharp, too strong to fightA helpless state of everythingToo helpless for one life
But one day a bell will ring and a light will find its wayTo the heart of a beast that’s been slowly drifting awayAnd this heart that once was broken and has been damaged all these yearsWill finally be pieced back together and handled with perfect care
And I was so sick of being helplessBut that’s all going to changeThe day that I turn fearlessThe day I’ll never be afraidThe day I look in the eyes of who I loveWhoever the future bringsAnd I’ll tell her that she’s my angelAnd she just earned her wings
