Century

What could take me back to that simpler time
When I was full of life and the world shined so bright
Those younger days they hold on to me, I'm like a bird in a cage
I need a change of scenery, but could it even change me?
I'm always out of place, I never felt this way
Give me a reason to stay, to stay
So what lies beneath, is never what it seems
I'll hide these secrets for centuries and centuries
I've been lost in my head with all the chances I've had
I reached a breaking point and now I'm spiralling and spiralling
This sanctuary of all my closest memories were always running out of time
And I'm running out of mine
Have you ever felt so sure of a certain choice?
You'll ponder your thoughts but you could never speak your voice
So watch the hourglass drop to scatter the sand
I can't let this win, I won't let this win
With heavy hands I hold this medicine
to keep me grounded but I feel condemned
So when all this is over I'll show my colours and let the light in
But it always worsens
