All my friends say I been waiting
To break out this shell where I've been
All day, for so long, with so much more than I have shown
And all these things I carry with me
Still Blinds me to the truth that we are
Always, reaching and so much more than flesh and bone

Open all those windows, bring into the light
All those memories you worked so hard to hide
Everyone and everything needs to survive… this life…

We see you're face, so stop debating
You flinch too much, anticipating
All day, for so long, that so much more can now go wrong
And all these things I carry with me
Still blinds me to the truth that we are
Always, reaching and more than just this flesh and bone

Open all those windows and bring into the light
All those memories we've worked so hard to hide
Everyone and everything needs to survive…
this life…
