Through the mist (running)

I have come for shelter

I cannot lay down here

I confess, my vision's helter skelter

It begins to appear

Cold I am aching

I have been here for all time

But my sight gets old

And often leaves me shaking

What has led me here

Or is it just a lie in my mind?

Here I go...

I break without a sound

What a fool I've been

I've come to heal

The phoenix I have angered

Who is rising from the flame

'Cause I tried to steal

The freedom of this caged bird

But I tore my wings on the smallest things
The singer was wounded or hurt by something seemingly insignificant.

And it made me who I am

Untied... Outside...

In-between... Shallow places

Ice cold... Images

Staring down... Seven graces

Freeze fire

And desire... I was holding air

Why, Why, Why?

I am falling
