Verse
Am
For too long now
C Cadd9 Am
There were secrets in my mind
For too long now
C Cadd9 Am
There were things I should have
said
In the darkness
C Cadd9 Am
I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason
C Cadd9 Am
To find the time, the place, the
hour
Em
Waiting for the winter sun
G D
And the cold light of day
Am Em
The misty ghosts of childhood
fears
G
The pressure is building
D
And I can't stay away
Chorus
Em C
G D
I throw myself into the sea
Em C
Release the wave
G D
Let it wash over me
Em C
To face the fear
G D
I once believed
Em C
The tears of the dragon
G D
For you and for me
Am
Where I was
C Cadd9 Am
I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was
C Cadd9 Am
I had tears I couldn't cry
My emotions
C Cadd9 Am
Frozen in an icy lake
I couldn't feel them
C Cadd9 Am
Until the ice began to break
Em
I have no power over this
G D
You know I'm afraid
Am Em
The walls I built are crumblig
G
The water is moving
D
I'm slipping away
Chorus
Solo
Am Em
Slowly I awake
G D
Am
Slowly I rise
Em
The walls I built are crumblig
G
The water is moving
D
I'm slipping away
