Open Book Now

Breathe in

Breathe out

Inhale

Exhale

Breathe

It's all we can do when we are at war within

When our minds never stop wandering around

Spinning miraculously at a thousand miles per hour

And we all go through it more than we'd like to admit

More than we ever say out loud

Smiling in pictures while we're quietly breaking down

I understand now the hiding inside a broken soul

The way you learn to make the darkness feel like home

But healing though, is a whole next level

It's open mind, open heart, open thought process

Let's face it, we have to learn to face our demons

We have to accept it for whatever it was

Letting go gets easier then

So easy to ignore it, pretending nothing ever happened

Pretending yesterday, well yesterday was a lie

But healing though, it's a possible breakthrough

It's a possibility we can just grow from this

Learn from this to be better tomorrow

Right? Yes, right.[Chorus]

I've been living proof of all I write down

Journal entries, notes, poems for the weak

Wrong

It's for the strong

It's for the ones who stayed when it would be easier to leave

It's what makes us feel alive in a way we can't explain out loud

This is how we bleed without breaking

This is how we speak without sound

Let's be honest here, we are now winning these mind blown manic breakdowns

The devil can't win when you rebuild your walls to leave nothing but him out

Leaving out all the rest that tried to keep you small

I'm an open book now

For the first time in my life

An open book now

And it's a fearful thing being vulnerable

For the first time ever[Chorus]

But also the most relief I have ever felt in a lifetime

And I've felt it all

The hurt, the high, the hollow, the fall

But for the first time

Being open isn't so bad

Letting the past go isn't giving up

It's giving back to yourself

We are strong

We are alive

We are survivors

We are us

We are in this together

You are never alone

Never alone, can you hear it?

Breathe in, breathe out, let the old story go

Inhale courage, exhale fear, you already know

We are strong

We are alive

We are us, and us is enough.
