My scars are hidden,
My skies are seen
The ache of living is all that is in between.
My words are silenced,
Mute is my song.
And after all this it still goes wrong.
The friendships shatter
So quick to lose
The feeling I need to be filling my shoes
Walking away
Into this night
Because I don't care anymore about who was right.
My light is lit,
My lips are hid
And all that I ever knew I did.
My hands are washed
My face is clean
This face that you have not seen.
My time is bought
I must be paid
For living in this blessed, god-damned way.
My skies are seen
The ache of living is all that is in between.
My words are silenced,
Mute is my song.
And after all this it still goes wrong.
The friendships shatter
So quick to lose
The feeling I need to be filling my shoes
Walking away
Into this night
Because I don't care anymore about who was right.
My light is lit,
My lips are hid
And all that I ever knew I did.
My hands are washed
My face is clean
This face that you have not seen.
My time is bought
I must be paid
For living in this blessed, god-damned way.

I have been ungrateful
And I have been unwise
Restless from the cradle
But now I realize
It's so hard to see the rainbow
Through glasses dark as these
Maybe I'll be able
From down on my knees
Oh I am weak
Oh I know I am vain
Take this weight from me
Let my spirit be unchained
Old man swearin' at the sidewalk
And I am overcome
Seems that we've both forgotten
Forgotten to go home
Have I seen an angel
Or have I seen a ghost
Where's that rock of ages
When you need it most
It's so hard to see the rainbow
Through glasses dark as these
Maybe I'll be able
From down on my knees
Unchained
