(Chorus)
Tell me something I don't know.
How do I liberate my soul?
How do I fix my heart of stone?
How can what once was sharp be dull?
Please help me, someone; can you hear?
I'm sick of wiping all my tears.
Why is it life seems so unclear?
I'm sick of hiding from my fears.
and, oooh, I know there's a place where I can go,
though it's a way less traveled road, and
there'll be more pain 'fore I can grow.
(Verse 1)
I gotta deal with myself.
Yeah, I know I gotta learn myself
And my advice is:
Stop trying to hide behind your vices,
and stop playing the victim.
You gotta look inside and
look into your mind and shine the light in,
or the demon's only gonna get bigger.
You gave it power over you,
And now, your only options are to cower or recoop.
Let this album help you through.
This is how you really catch a demon:
You learn its name.
So, learn your name.
Are you a demon or a saint?
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
I just really wanna know myself, and
I just wanna have control of myself.
I've been sorting through the mess.
I've been clearing the debris.
Been looking into shards of broken mirror to see the real me.
Yeah, it isn't complete yet,
but I'm willing to pick up the pieces even if it means a couple of cuts,
and some blood might have to be spilled in the battle.
Better than the gradual death from before.
I'll be sore, but it's okay.
Yeah, it's okay
'cause I know that I'll be headed in my own way.
(Outro/ Chorus)
Oh, I wanna liberate my soul.
I'll chip away my heart of stone,
then sharpen what has become dull.
And, ooh, I know there's a place where I can go,
though it's a way less traveled road, and
there'll be more pain 'fore I can grow.
So, I'll take the time, so I can grow.
I'll listen deep to all my woes.
Release my demon's stranglehold!
Oh, I wanna liberate my soul.
I'll chip away my heart of stone,
then sharpen what has become dull.
Sharpen what has become dull.
I'll sharpen what has become dull.
