Take It Back

She asked me if I've ever
Been trapped right here before
Will my future make it in
Or has my past locked the doors?

She said she was once like me
Playing the wide-eye'd fool
Warns me that life's too short
To play by the rules
Because

Currents of your mind
Will pull you back in time
Don't dig the grave to your life
Take it back while you can
Forget all your plans

She asked me to try and see
A life where I could be
So much more than
My uncertainty

And then I realized
I've wasted so much time
Filling casts and molds
She warned me not to fold

Currents of your mind
Will pull you back in time
Don't dig the grave to your life
Take it back while you can
Forget all your plans

I've always been told that I'll be fine
No need to explore inside my mind
Just sit up straight, and listen good
Be a good girl like you know you should

Then she said
You'll be dead
Not in skin, in your head
Try to scream
Can't breathe
No dreams for me

I thought I had it under control
Liked who I was becoming
But not anymore...

Maaaaybe I don't have a choice
I don't want to lose my voice

Change might be the only way
To give my life something to say
Something to say

What if I can't ever see
Past my uncertainty?
