Lyrics Change - Dead Letter Circus

Change

I’ve been here before
I know this place
With one door left untried
There’s no way back
I’ve played this game
The one where the ego dies
There is no other choice
This is happening
I’m afraid
I don’t fight
This is an ultimatum shaping life
But you don’t get to say no
Change
Stepping back in fear that I will break
Holding out both hands to keep my place
All things are connected
I will try reject this
I can’t find my way back home
Reset your expectation
The battle here is for your mind
There is no borderline (Kill it, shed it)
You alone the reason
The architect of all this time
Now you own this life (Build it, fill it)
There is no other choice
This is happening
I’m afraid
I don’t fight
This is an ultimatum shaping life
But you don’t get to say no
Change
Stepping back in fear that I will break
Holding out both hands to keep my place
All things are connected
Tell myself it’s ending
I can’t find my way back home
See the world has shifted to my eye
Feel a shade has lifted from my soul
Borders are now fading from my eyes
The strength from what was pain is in my soul
I am in control
Our streets
Our lives
Therefore the onus is ours
Our reach
Our stakes
We are the keepers of ours
Tell myself I should embrace it
Embrace it
Tell myself I should embrace it
Embrace it
Now within this, I see clear my faults
Standing in my wake
Covering my sight
This temporary freedom
I walk to each waiting door with open mind
Step from my cage
Concede that I was afraid
But I will change
Change
Stepping back and in fear that I will break
Holding out both hands to keep my place
All things are connected
Tell myself it’s ending
I can’t find my way back home
Our streets
Our lives
Therefore the onus is ours
Our reach
Our stakes
We are the keepers of ours
