They say your moment here has come to pass
As cracks are riddling your pane of glass
A painting that's now dry and ready to be framed
But the vitality within your eyes
Proves that flesh is merely a disguise
Your new philosophy of old has never waned
I've wandered through the wilderness of this lonely heart and mind
Chasing my own shadows in the darkness just to find
That fear is just a broken crutch that helps a man survive
But I found I was never truly alive
The wind is blowing through me page by page
And freedom seems to feel more like a cage
My anchor's taken me straight down to the ocean floor
But the vitality within your eyes
Makes me to believe that I can rise
My lungs will fill with oxygen like never before
I've wandered through the wilderness of this lonely heart and mind
Chasing my own shadows in the darkness only to find
That fear is just a crutch that helps a man survive
But I found I was never truly alive
