Lost where we can't escape
Blind to our own decay
Lamenting when we can't let go
Until we heal, we die alone
We hope that it's not too late
I used to lie awake and sing this song
Fear is a hollow place, a dark beyond
The coldest season that I've ever known
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
Times have changed
And I have changed
♪
It's hard to recognize the person that I was
But a wasted life is still worth saving
I was too scared to find forgiveness wouldn't come
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
Times have changed
♪
Those were the darkest days, I never will return
This I confess so you may learn
Convey the truth, the pain so you won't have to hurt
Please never second-guess these words
Like a phoenix rising from the dust
I've come to lift you up
Like a new day dawning from above in turn
So you may learn
A lesson from the things I've done
A fable of the silent son
♪
And buried way below, we have our deep regrets
With waves of anger to respect
We face our demons with intentions to protect
Our future angels for what's next
Like a phoenix rising from the dust
I've come to lift you up
Like a new day dawning from above in turn
So you may learn
A lesson from the things I've done
♪
A fable of the silent son
A warning of the things to come
Foreshadowing the end for some
Who dare and lose it all
A fable of the silent son
A warning of the things to come
Forgive me for the things I've done
I could have lost it all
