There's a shadow that hangs overs me And it's screaming with uncertainty The lightning never seems go away I'm walking in a neighbourhood full of creatures And it's understood that escape is never feasible I'm a prisoner
And now it's in your hands! I can't run I can't hide Held by terror bathed in light In the past For all time I will carry this sacred heart
This dirt under my fingernails is a sign of someone that prevailed When I had to dig my way out of my grave The scars I wear you gave to me when you held me down And watched me bleed and escape was never feasible But I'm not your prisoner
And now it's in your hands! I can't run I can't hide Held by terror bathed in light In the past For all time I will carry this sacred heart
I ran for miles from a dark that was born I picked up the rose and was stung by the thorn
I stand here at the edge of my life I ask myself should I stop breathing Whens my Sun, my light, my flame To walk with no shame I'm sick of this sick of this game
I can't run I can't hide Held by terror bathed in light In the past For all time I will carry this sacred heart In the past For all time I will carry this sacred This sacred heart
