Reclaim

I built this up from the ground again
For had you noticed that
These seven plagues just weren't enough

I feel a pain like I have never known

Pulling bricks from the wall again
Patch it up and make an effort to stand tall again

I shake in silence as I stand alone

In this life we have a game we play
Win or lose
You know we never ever
Come out the same

All new emotions to feed the demons
I keep their cries at bay
This is the time for a brighter season
Burning in the light of day

Drag myself behind the chariot
Cut me loose
For had you noticed
It's not only me untying the noose

I hit the ground
Now see me run like hell

I never thought that I could turn around
And not see you
Out of my mind
And I don't hear you now

Mortar from the ashes
Of my former self
Will pave the road from here
My inhibitions betray no one else
While I'm avenging my fears

I won't pine away
No, I must reclaim
The truth I chase
With all the words I say
I won't close the door
Harbor all my shame
Been spinning 'round
Trying to place the blame
Yeah, I'm coming up now
From being down
Watch me light it up
I'm not fading out
Yeah, arriving home here
Inside my head

And in living up to the name
I created for myself
I had forgotten my capacity
For reinvention

Mortar from the ashes
Of my former self
Will pave the road from here
My inhibitions betray no one else
While I'm avenging my fears

I won't pine away
No, I must reclaim
The truth I chase
With all the words I say
I won't close the door
Harbor all my shame
Been spinning 'round
Trying to place the blame
Yeah, I'm coming up now
From being down
Watch me light it up
Cuz I'm not fading out
Yeah, arriving home here
Inside my head
