Foreign Hands
I always felt, that it was wrong
To lay my world in foreign hands
So why'd it take so long
To find the strength to steal it back?
All that I once had and so much more
An open door so I can finally breathe again
All this weight should lift from every inch
It suffocates the way that I think
If somehow all becomes far from misfortuned destiny
Oh, that I've come to believe as the only way
To pass each day, confined to feeling so empty
'Til now
I see a way out, and I can see the sun on the horizon
But it's getting more and more distant, oh
Every time you turn and face away
I see a way out, and I can hear an echo that begs to be followed
Lord only knows where it's taking me
Lord only knows where it's taking me
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
And not so long ago, I seemed to think
That I had the whole thing figured out
Only to find myself, trapped at the heart of someone else
Oh, but now I finally see, the other side
And just in time, before I let it pull me in, again
I see a way out and I can see the sun on the horizon
But it's getting more and more distant, oh
Every time you turn and face away
I see a way out and I can hear an echo that begs to be followed
Lord only knows where it's taking me
Lord only knows where it's taking me
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
And all new life must be born from the ashes
But I'm more than willing to start again
To start again, oh-oh-oh
And all new life must be born from the ashes (ho, ho, ho, ho-ho, ho, from the ashes)
But I'm more than willing to start again (ho, ho, ho, to start again)
To start again (to start again)
To start again (to start again)
I see a way out, and I can see the sun on the horizon (ho, ho-ho)
But it's getting more and more distant, oh (ho-ho)
Every time you turn and face away (ha)
I see a way out and I can hear an echo that begs to be followed
Lord only knows where it's taking me
Lord only knows where it's taking me
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
To lay my world in foreign hands
So why'd it take so long
To find the strength to steal it back?
All that I once had and so much more
An open door so I can finally breathe again
All this weight should lift from every inch
It suffocates the way that I think
If somehow all becomes far from misfortuned destiny
Oh, that I've come to believe as the only way
To pass each day, confined to feeling so empty
'Til now
I see a way out, and I can see the sun on the horizon
But it's getting more and more distant, oh
Every time you turn and face away
I see a way out, and I can hear an echo that begs to be followed
Lord only knows where it's taking me
Lord only knows where it's taking me
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
And all new life must be born from the ashes

Lord only knows where it's taking me
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
