lyrics

Am I lost
Gone away
Am I gratefully digging my grave
Do my feet
Fear to run
From the heart of a prison of one

Can I change these clothes I’ve worn
Shed this old skin and be reborn
Give me time
And a peaceful mind
Give me mercy

Well I’ve stood in the snow
And I’ve watched that wildfire grow
Seen the flames catch the wind
And I’ve felt their heat on my skin

But now I feel so small
With my back up against the wall
Give me time
And a peaceful mind
Give me mercy

I wish I was an eagle
Floating on the air
And I didn’t have this heavy cross to bear

I’ve got scars that still ache
From every misstep from every mistakes
For every lie I believed
There’s a ghost in my head that won’t leave

So don’t make me confess
With your own cards tight to your chest
Give me time
And a peaceful mind
Give me mercy
