sane
For King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Took your innocence and left a scar
Crossed lines and crushed your world
And tore your soul in two
Too young to knock your door
Tried to miss our civil war
Time left to comprehend
Let it echo
Is it waiting
To determine what we will become
You will be safe
You will be free
This won't decide who you're gonna be
You will be safe
You will be new
The cycle will break
The future will change
And you will be sane
Scared that your secret might come out
And you're gonna lose the life you got now
Caught in a loop and it winds you back
But anything can change
Take a chance now
'Cause it's waiting
Share the truth now
I knew a day would come, yeah
You will be safe
You will be free
This won't decide who you're gonna be
You will be safe
You will be new
The cycle will break
The future will change
And you will be sane
Scream it out loud
And watch all of the pieces crumble down
Oh yeah
Consign it to me now
'Cause darling that's how freedom can be found
And you will be safe
You will be free
And this won't decide who you're gonna be
You will be safe
You will be new
The cycle will break
The future will change
And you will be sane
You're sane
You will be sane
You're sane
You will be sane
