lyrics

(Manni)
Light and Beauty walk all around her
Enshrined and shines openly
Enchanting everyone
Feels the magic within
Deep feelings
Clasped in irons
Inside her
shackle her
Weigh her down
Weigh her down

(Bec)
Validation, where are you?
Who is blind here?
Me or him?

The everyday is drowning me
I need to feel.
Something.
Anything.
Let.
Me.
Feel.
Alive.
Again.

The everyday is drowning me
I need to feel.
Something.
Anything.
Let.
Me.
Feel.
Alive.
Again.

(Manni)
Dark and ugly drains all within
Phantoms steal her happiness
Devouring all inside her
Knows the spell is broken
The mirror is cracked
Shallow thinking
Does nothing for her
Tighten the grip
Water is rising

(Bec)
Alienation is here now
I can see clearly see
That it is me
It's me

The everyday is drowning me
I need to feel.
Something.
Anything.
Let.
Me.
Feel.
Alive.
Again.

The everyday is drowning me
I need to feel.
Something.
Anything.
Let.
Me.
Feel.
Alive.
Again.

(solo)

The everyday is drowning me
I need to feel.
Something.
Anything.
Let.
Me.
Feel.
Alive.
Again.

The everyday is drowning me
I need to feel.
Something.
Anything.
Let.
Me.
Feel.
Alive.
Again.

(Manni)
Get me to the shore
Let me see the dawn

(Bec)
Get me to the shore
Let me see the dawn
Let me greet the day
No longer in chains
No longer
No longer

No longer in chains...
