Temple Song by American Trappist

Because I wrote it on the wall
Because we dared to have it all
Because it held me where it hurts
Because in spite of what you’ve heard

There’s a price for letting go
There’s a reason people don’t
When you finally shed your skin
And find it buried deep within

Up from the ground
Tear it all down if you have to

Damn my timing
The world was mine then
Now when I get reminded
I want another one
But I won’t stop trying to find some pride again
If I can help remembering how close I was to giving up
Because I’m still alive and I wanna dive in
It’s not enough surviving
I want to break the spell
I’m gonna kiss the memory in the darkest part of me
I’m gonna leave the light on for everybody else
