lyrics

I was in two places at one time
Fast asleep beside you
Also locked and crying
In an attic on the darkest night
Not a silhouette in sight
Couldn’t see a simple shape beyond my outstretched arms
A prison of imagined bars

All alone I cried for help
Calling out for someone else

Rattling the bars, shouting at the sky
Raging like a banshee at my clipped wings
You never wore a cape, you never learned to fly
All the years I wanted you to save me

Like a mystic message prophesied
Dawn broke and I saw clearly what it signified
The key was in my hold and I was

All alone I cried for help
Calling out for someone else
All alone I cried for help
But only I could save myself

Rattling the bars, shouting at the sky
Raging like a banshee at my clipped wings
You never wore a cape, you never learned to fly
All the years I wanted you to save me

The darkest night taught me to see
That’s the moment I was set free
