Chrysalis cracks, you don't move
Just hold on to a fading truth
Stand, I cannot wait here
A dream where the world is too clear
But I won't let go
There is where I found a home and
Time snatched it away
Just standing on the precipice
Searching for magnificence in our wake
Chrysalis cracks its our chance
Choose if life's a journey or a dance
We leap singing carpe diem
But the days slip away and won't listen
And in every face I've known
It is there I find a home
No, I won't go astray
Left standing on the precipice
Searching for magnificence
I can't turn away
Leave me,
Don't tell me all the things that I thought
But I didn't know, didn't know
Hanging on by this thread because I can't let go
No I can't let go
And if this is youth, I am so naive to think it would be so
And all that I've felt must become these wings that keep me afloat
And now I know it's time to be strong
And all I've found cannot be wrong
Keep reminiscing
Don't know what I'm missing
Thought I was awake but I've just been fast asleep and
Everything I thought was just another reason
Why I can't stand down,
No these wings must keep beating
Leave me,
Don't tell me all the things that I thought
But I didn't know, didn't know
Hanging on by this thread because I can't let go
No I can't let go
And if this is youth, I am so naive to think it would be so
And all that I've felt must become these wings that keep me afloat
Chrysalis cracked, I had to move
I still hold on to your fading truth
And time it takes, but it also gives
And we all emerge with new wings
