Lines Only I Can See

Shadows pull at every step I take Quiet voices say to fall in line I walk the road they pay with steady hands And I stretch long with all the things I kept Buried deep beneath the same old sky Something stirred beneath the surface calm Pulled me toward the edges of the known I turn away from what they want me to be Carving lines that only I can see No more hiding in the shape they chose I turn away from what they want me to be Stand alone and let the old world close Memories linger of the days I tried Wearing faces that never felt like mine Friends drifted off when I refused to bend Left me chasing trails that had no I turn away from what they want me to be Carving lines that only I can see Carving lines that only I can see No more hiding in the shape they chose I stand alone and let the old world close The ache remains for all I left behind The ache remains for all I left behind The ache remains for all I left behind Yet every breath feels lighter on this side No map can guide the road I walk tonight No map can guide the road I walk tonight I turn away from what they want me to be Carving lines that only I can see No more hiding in the shape they chose I stand alone and let the old world close This path is mine And it will always be I turn away And finally feel free I turn away from what they want me to be I turn away from what they want me to be I turn away from what they want me to be
