Ascent

Material for nightmares
I'll tell my story, I will make it known
You made me feel so special
You told me I'm the one
That was first of your lies

If I could have seen it coming
But I was blind
Your colors seemed so bright
And I used to blame myself
Now I know the truth

Freedom calling
I can breathe again
I'm taking back my soul
And I embrace the pain
Won't lose my way again
Now watch me as I ascend

You suddenly changed on me
Nothing I could do was good enough for you
And I believed your stories
I put myself down for you
It didn't solve anything

On my way to healing
No matter the distance
Discovering my own worth
Finding my true calling
Choosing my sanity
And my dignity
Over you

I can't rejoice, you've depraved me of all I had
Cutting the ties, as I'm starting all over
