Perfeo

Dust on the window, silent and grey
I spent a lifetime counting the days
Numb in the shadows, locked in my head
Sleeping through mornings, heavier than lead
Now there is warmth on my open hand
I feel my feet on the solid land


I am waking up, tearing off the cold
Breathing in the light, watching it unfold
No more living numb, running from the pain
I can feel my heart beating once again
Yeah, the night is done, I am breaking through
Learning how to feel, learning how to bloom


Kicked off the covers, opened the blinds
Leaving the static, leaving it behind
Tasted the coffee, stepped in the street
Finding the rhythm back in my feet
Colors are sharp where the grey used to stay
I was a ghost, but I washed him away


I am waking up, tearing off the cold
Breathing in the light, watching it unfold
No more living numb, running from the pain
I can feel my heart beating once again
Yeah, the night is done, I am breaking through
Learning how to feel, learning how to bloom

It was a quiet war, fought on the floor
Carried the heavy stone right out the door
I see the sky right now, endlessly wide
I survived the dark, I am alive
