Break - Elephante, Tiina

Cut the ropes

Let me go, like a stone in a freefall

Down below

Where are all the wild things are stealing stars

I’ve been dreaming of the ways

Through all the haze and the danger

Dancing with the bitter truth

That I’m a prisoner to all the same hesitations

Only I can break me loose

I’ve had my right hand up all of my life

I hear my heart beat out to know I’m alive

Tell me, am I the only one who’s paralyzed

And I’m holding the knife?

They say I’m too far gone, waiting for light

I keep the sutures on and pray for a sign

Tell me, am I the only one who’s paralyzed

And I’m holding the knife, the knife?

I’ve had my right hand up

I’ve had my right hand up all of my life

I hear my heart beat out to know I’m alive

Tell me, am I the only one who’s paralyzed

And I’m holding the knife

They say I’m too far gone, waiting for light

I keep the sutures on and pray for a sign

Tell me, am I the only one who’s paralyzed

And I’m holding the knife, the knife?

I’ve had my right hand up

Tell me, am I the only one who’s paralyzed

And I’m holding the knife

Thick as smoke

Carve my name in the shade as the wind blows

I keep falling in the darkness

Still chasing firelight with all my ghosts
