This Is Redemption
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't lose the faith now
Don't take me for granted
Everyone left their hope on the floor
Don't try to pretend
The cause was a mission
Everyone knows now that there's noting left to say
The door to escape this room
And the boundaries
Trapping the fear we knew
Was near
So where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
I never meant to feel this way
Like shattered glass on the floor
The pieces will remind me of
The distance from the life
I thought I knew
How can you just give up?
With so much you can't see
It seems like there's no one who holds any faith in me
I'll fight off seclusion
And put up this defense
I'm fighting a war
Where the days are my enemies
The door to escape this room
And the boundaries
Trapping the fear we knew
Was near
Where do we go from here?
I never meant to feel this way
Like shattered glass on the floor
The pieces will remind me of
The distance from the life
I once was sure I knew
This time I lost myself in it all
I find it's so hard to breathe
This time I lost myself to it all
I find it's so hard to breathe
I never meant to feel this way
Like shattered glass on the floor
The pieces will remind me of
The distance from the life
I once was sure I knew
