lyrics

In the sunniest rain, you will find another why
Another reason to make sense of the state that you're in
And it might juxtapose all the feelings stored inside
Bottled in, buried deep, dark and captured within
And though I've never crossed this burden
I can feel a little heartbeat that just is not stable anymore
And you said, "This is troublesome."
"I wanted to be free."
"I wanted to be somebody - me."

And so you see your family
What will they do without you?
Can you see the conflict brought upon your soul?
We said that this foundation is running through
Like all of the empty buildings in this hollow town
They're caving in upon themselves, and they're all alone
They're all deserted, they're far too gone
And this is where we'll all end up
You wanted to be free, but you went to live a life in misery

So then you close yourself off from the rest of the world
Forfeiting this comfort for a sharper edge
A distant sign, a breath to hold
And sure enough, you let go of everything that you were close to prior
You just wrote your name in cursive
Punctured in the softest layer of skin, right onto your arm
And there, it spreads like fire
But you wanted to be free
You wanted to be somebody
