Authors Wanderers lyrics

It's like I woke up from a yearlong sleep.
I pull myself from the frozen ground,
darkness everywhere I turn.
I'm trapped, short on air.
I can feel my lungs begin to burn.

I could search for answers or I could break away;
Will I forever wander? I've never been so deprived.

I'm forgetting what hope is in the endless night.
Will I ever catch a glimpse of the distant light?

The weight of all my shame has dragged me under.
I will never be rescued from myself.
I'm so deserving of death,
so tell me-
why am I worth saving?

I fall away into this sleep.
I fall away into this slumber.
I feel my lungs collapse,

my body stuck in a paper trap.
I feel the world shift beneath my weight,
a welcome change because I've been so empty.
I feel my eyes burn out.
Swallow the sight,
choke
on
the
sound.

I measured out my worth in dark soliloquies.
I was unsteady in my movements, unsure of the ground beneath my feet.
But you took on my pain, your perfect body broken
so I could find new meaning behind every word you've spoken.

Will I be set free? I'm on my knees.
My vision has failed me and I can't breathe.
