• An old concept, a new take

  Take these roses off of me
  Let me live, let me be
  For a little while
  Let my eyes,
  See everything and nothing in their time
  I do not mind
  
  Who'dve guess I'd learn
  To let the walls around me burn
  Light up the hillside
  My words, I ate them for so long and nothing changed
  It was just the same
  
  And I don't know if you see me here
  But I can tell you your face is clear
  I will see you...
  
  Forever
  I will see you
  Forever
  
  Call me close once again
  Call me teacher, call me friend
  Just like the first time
  Call my name, it echoes in the walls around this room
  Its all you
  
  I don't know if you hear me there
  When it's darkest and no one cares
  I will hear you...
  
  Forever
  I will hear you
  Forever
  
  I wanted you to be everything to me
  Now I've got to learn to carry on
  I know I cannot hide this emptiness inside
  But nothing is the same since you've gone
  
  Send me letters from above
  Send me strength, send me love
  Such sweet love
  Sing me songs that echo in my head and in my heart
  That's where you are
  
  And I don't know if you feel me here
  I can tell you one thing that's clear
  I will feel you...

  From another perspective..
  I built a fortress
  With a hundred thousand faces
  I'll keep it safe
  With a hundred thousand more
  But these masks are wearing thin
  As You draw me in
  
  I spent my time
  On the empty and the fleeting
  I spent my life
  On much less than I'd dreamed
  But I'm reaching out to you
  To make me new
  
  'Cause I am just a beggar here at Your door
  I am just a shipwreck here on Your shore
  I come empty handed
  Ready to see
  Your life in me changing who I've been
  To who I need to be
  
  You tell me my story
  As You sift between the pages
  I feel redemption
  In the space between each turn
  
  Could You take me in Your arms
  And tell it just once more
  Could You take me in Your arms
  And tell it just once more
