Every day I screamed inside,
For you to bring me home.
But your wings were black.
How could you just turn your back?
Drowning, sinking into the depths.
Falling, falling, too dark to see.
I reach blindly, desperately.
Where was your hand to rescue me?
I ran home with blistered feet,
The lights were out, no one home.
The walls echoed as I screamed your name.
Please help me, I’ve lost my way.
So maybe there’s a part of you inside,
But I’ll always hold my head in pride.
Because everything I am is because of me.
I swam out of the dark to safety.
For you to bring me home.
But your wings were black.
How could you just turn your back?
Drowning, sinking into the depths.
Falling, falling, too dark to see.
I reach blindly, desperately.
Where was your hand to rescue me?
I ran home with blistered feet,
The lights were out, no one home.
The walls echoed as I screamed your name.
Please help me, I’ve lost my way.
So maybe there’s a part of you inside,
But I’ll always hold my head in pride.
Because everything I am is because of me.
I swam out of the dark to safety.
