VERSE

Stringing my lights to your perfect banner

You bring me alongside you everywhere

Where does the path start, and where are we going?

Please just tell me that you'll keep me here

We walked out, didn't seem fine

Wild thoughts, never crossed my mind

Here I am, right place, wrong time

Thought it was others, turns out it was I

CHORUS

Patterns manifest in retrospect

Tides change right in front of me, time to act

Now my own again, I hold my pen

Collect myself and now I ascend

VERSE

Stillness washed over, after the storm

Untampered memories, revealed the harm

Never even felt it, foolishly armed

Second time more wise, put up my guard

Walked on glass, on a path that never ended

Afraid to let go, unsure of consequence

Made up my own rules, I never bent them

OK in the moment, but to what end?

CHORUS

Patterns manifest in retrospect

Tides change right in front of me, time to act

Now my own again, I hold my pen

Collect myself and now I ascend

VERSE

We dreamt and spoke of seeing the light

Those ideas woefully out of sight

I finally bite, bell rings, I jolt

Distant memory, standing still, growing old

Spend the nights, crafting the key

To my deep down, buried, soliloquies

Now they're out, and now they're mine

That past now left to die

CHORUS

Patterns manifest in retrospect

Tides change right in front of me, time to act

Now my own again, I hold my pen

Collect myself and now I ascend

OUTRO

Took back my lights from your standing banner

Pride alongside me everywhere

My path starts here, and I know where I'm going

Thankful to me that I let you go
