LYRICS
The written lyrics below formed the foundation of the freestyle performance, which includes variations and additional improvised lines
I've been running from a feeling I could never put to words Built a thousand different doorways Just to leave the place that hurts I've been searching for an answer Like a prisoner for a key But every road I took to freedom Led me further away from me There's a weight beneath my breathing There's a silence in my chest I've been fighting something nameless That was only asking me to rest I kept reaching for tomorrow Like today was something wrong Trying to outrun the silence That had held me all along What if there's nowhere I need to go? Nothing I need to become What if the war I've been fighting Was a war I never won? I've been breaking down the walls I've been tearing at the chains But the door was never locked I was just afraid to stay In the place I wouldn't stay I called it darkness called it weakness Called it something I should heal Put a thousand names upon it So I wouldn't have to feel And all the voices in my head Keep telling me to choose But I don't have to find an answer To a question I can lose What if there's nowhere I need to go? Nothing I need to become What if the war I've been fighting Was a war I never won? I've been breaking down the walls I've been tearing at the chains But the door was never locked I was just afraid to stay In the place I wouldn't stay Here is the tension Here is the fear Here is the thing I've been running from for years No revelation No promised land Just the weight of being human And the ground on which I stand I don't have to make it beautiful I don't have to make it right I can sit here with the darkness Without turning on the light There is nowhere I need to go Nothing I need to become I can lay my weapons down now I don't have to overcome Let the walls stand where they stand Let the ache remain unnamed I was never really trapped here I was just afraid to stay
