Walk by Winter - The Light (Will Wash Over You)

One time
I thought
I would never make it out
Those days
Caught in your web
You spun me up in doubt
You killed me with your kindness
You kept me safe from fear
I couldn't feel your fingers twist
Til the blade had disappeared
Far down the tunnel
Behind me broken debts
I thought I was forever
I thought that you had left
Pieces
Floating
A mural of regret
Sinking
Low down
I couldn't see it yet
I couldn't see the light
But I'm here
A new man
A heart that once was dead
Breathing forgiveness to offer you
A heart of ruby red
Don't think you're locked in a story you didn't write
We're not slaves to the hurting
As hard as it is to feel stuck in the mirror
I know you'll make it right
You'll feel the light
You'll feel the light
This too is true
The only way out is through
Open your eyes and the light will wash over you
Up around that corner
Just beyond that border
You're so close, now
To the surface
If that were true
He must have felt that he had lost the old warm world
Paid a high price for living too long with a single dream
He must have looked up at an unfamiliar sky
Through frightening leaves
And shivered as he found what a grotesque thing a rose is
And how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass
A new world
Material, without being real
Where poor ghosts
Breathing dreams like air
Drifted fortuitously about
Like that ashen, fantastic figure
Gliding toward him through the amorphous trees
Open your eyes and the light will wash over you
Open your eyes and the light will wash over you
Open your eyes and the light will wash over you
Open your eyes and the light will wash over you
