about

Opening track of the concept album, Found in Darkness. This one is the "problem statement" song.

lyrics

I lost my way
My map was wrong
I prided myself on being even keeled
Out of nowhere
This pang in my chest
Turned a dictator that had my dreams killed

I lost my say
To the silent voice
That screamed in my ear that I was worthless
This must be a lie
What fool would listen?
It can't be allowed
This big of a mess

Tell me where did I fail
Guilty, am I falling off rails?

I lost my will
To the void inside
That dragged me downward
Till there was nothing left
Is this my life?
To face defeats?
Can I retry?
Undo this grave theft

Tell me where did I fail
Guilty of being too frail

Shrink wrapped wings
The gift from my maker under locks
It's time to release all chains and break out of this box

Lower all the shields you put up to
Fortify your inner child and her rage
Whatever the hurt you protected
Let it flood out the cage

Shrink wrapped wings
The gift from my maker under locks
It's time to release all chains and break out of this box

Shrink wrapped wings
The gift from my maker under locks
It's time to release all chains and fly out of this box
