I’m not the ghost you thought I’d be
I’m breaking out so I can breathe
I’m just a shadow in the rain

A voice that drowns inside the pain
My mind’s a room with broken glass
I bleed with every thought that’s passed
I wear the weight like iron skin

It keeps the light from getting in
I’ve been the storm against my shore
But I can’t fight myself no more

I’m not the ghost you thought I’d be
I’m breaking out so I can breathe
The weight won’t hold me anymore
I’ll walk right through the closing door

I’ve built a kingdom out of doubt
With every wall I’ve locked me out
I’ve chased thе sun but turned away
I’ve seen my dreams turn into rust

Thеy’re fading each time that I trust
But somewhere deep beneath the stone
A seed still fights to call me home

I’m not the ghost you thought I’d be
I’m breaking out so I can breathe
The weight won’t hold me anymore
I’ll walk right through the closing door

Cut me open, let me bloom
Even flowers rise from tombs
Fear’s a tide I will outswim
This is where my life begins

I’m not the ghost you thought I’d be
I’m breaking out so I can breathe
The weight won’t hold me anymore
I’ll walk right through the closing door

This is where I live again
This is where my life begins
