sleeping at last - atlas: eight lyrics

Loading...

i remember the minute
it was like a switch was flipped-
i was just a kid who grew
up strong enough
to pick this armor up
and suddenly it fit

god, that was so long ago
long ago, long ago…
i was little, i was weak and perfectly naive
and i grew up too quick

now you won’t see
all that i have to lose
and all i’ve lost in the fight
to protect it

i won’t let you in
i swore never again-
i can’t afford, no
i refuse to be rejected

i want to break these bones
’til they’re better
i want to break them right
and feel alive

you were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong-
my healing needed more than time
when i see fragile things
helpless things, broken things

i see the familiar
i was little, i was weak
i was perfect too
now i’m a broken mirror

but i can’t let you see all that i have to lose
all i’ve lost in the fight to protect it
i can’t let you in, i swore never again
i can’t afford to let myself be blindsided

i’m standing guard, i’m falling apart
and all i want is to trust you
show me how to lay my sword down
for long enough to let you through

here i am, pry me open
what do you want to know?
i’m just a kid who grew up scared enough
to hold the door shut and bury my innocence

but here’s a map, here’s a shovel
here’s my achilles’ heel
i’m all in, palms out, i’m at your mercy now
and i’m ready to begin

i am strong, i am strong
i am strong enough to let you in
i will shake the ground with all my might
i will pull my whole heart up to the surface

for the innocent
for the vulnerable
and i’ll show up on the
front lines with a purpose

and i’ll give all i have
i’ll give my blood, i’ll give my sweat-
an ocean of tears will spill for what is broken
i’m shattered porcelain glued back together again

invincible like i’ve never been
