Starting over

Perched on this mountain, worn and weathered down
My talons dull, my vision fading now
These feathers that once carried me so high
Have grown too heavy, and I've forgotten how to fly
I've been living in the shadow of who I used to be
These old habits like chains won't set me free
(Chorus)
So I'm breaking off the beak that won't serve me anymore
Tearing out the claws that keep me fastened to the floor
Shedding every feather that weighs heavy on my soul
It's gonna hurt like hell, but I need to be made whole
Sometimes you gotta die to who you were before
To spread your wings and soar
(Verse 2)
I've been circling the same old patterns for too long
Singing the same tired verses to a worn-out song
But deep inside there's something calling out to me
A whisper saying "you were meant for more, break free"
Six months of pain to find my strength again
But I'd rather hurt than stay where I've been
(Chorus)
So I'm breaking off the beak that won't serve me anymore
Tearing out the claws that keep me fastened to the floor
Shedding every feather that weighs heavy on my soul
It's gonna hurt like hell, but I need to be made whole
Sometimes you gotta die to who you were before
To spread your wings and soar
(Bridge)
In the silence of the mountain
In the waiting, in the pain
Something new is slowly growing
I'll take flight again
I'll take flight again
(Final Chorus)
I've been breaking off the pieces that won't serve me anymore
Found the strength to tear away what kept me from the door
Every feather that I've shed has lightened up my soul
Yeah it hurt like hell, but now I'm finally whole
I had to die to who I was before
Now watch me soar
Watch me soar
