Change - Dead Letter Circus

I’ve been here before

I know this place

With one door left untried

There’s no way back

I’ve played this game

The one where the ego dies

There is no other choice

This is happening

I’m afraid

I don’t fight

This is an ultimatum shaping life

But you don’t get to say no

Change

Stepping back in fear that I will break

Holding out both hands to keep my place

All things are connected

I will try reject this

I can’t find my way back home

Reset your expectation

The battle here is for your mind

There is no borderline (Kill it, shed it)

You alone the reason

The architect of all this time

Now you own this life (Build it, fill it)

There is no other choice

This is happening

I’m afraid

I don’t fight

This is an ultimatum shaping life

But you don’t get to say no

Change

Stepping back in fear that I will break

Holding out both hands to keep my place

All things are connected

Tell myself it’s ending

I can’t find my way back home

See the world has shifted to my eye

Feel a shade has lifted from my soul

Borders are now fading from my eyes

The strength from what was pain is in my soul

I am in control

Our streets

Our lives

Therefore the onus is ours

Our reach

Our stakes

We are the keepers of ours

Tell myself I should embrace it

Embrace it

Tell myself I should embrace it

Embrace it

Now within this, I see clear my faults

Standing in my wake

Covering my sight

This temporary freedom

I walk to each waiting door with open mind

Step from my cage

Concede that I was afraid

But I will change

Change

Stepping back and in fear that I will break

Holding out both hands to keep my place

All things are connected

Tell myself it’s ending

I can’t find my way back home

Our streets

Our lives

Therefore the onus is ours

Our reach

Our stakes

We are the keepers of ours
