Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Born under the thunder
Thrown onto the waves
Told to rise above the clouds to find my brighter days
I don't remember when it happened
But I remember how it felt
Something slipped away, and I became somebody else
[Verse 2]
In the summer stars, I see
Someone I used to be
Just a kid again
With the sky in my hands
Flying free
[Verse 3]
I gave up on El Dorado
So I started painting stones
Lived under a life so big, I shrunk into my clothes
Talking to my shadow
Mumbling in the night
Covered up the windows 'cause the light would hurt my eyes
[Verse 4]
In notebook twenty-three
There's a boy I used to be
Stuck in his head
Picking bugs from his bed
And dying to be free
[Verse 5]
Ejected from the jungle
Hallelujah, peace at last
Once I got out of the woods I thought I never would look back
And I hate that it still lingers
And I hate that it's this hard
Longing for the very things that scare you in the dark
[Verse 6]
In the creaking door I hear
Those shadows reappear
They try to pull me in
But now I'm tied to the wind
And I'm blowing out of here
[Verse 7]
I don't want to be a preacher
I don't want to be a saint
I just came here with the word that you can learn from all the pain
Whatever may be Heaven
However you believe
Something circled in and pulled me out, and I got clean
