The ultimate sacrifice
Watch me fall
And lose it all
Past the point of caring

Wings stripped bare
But I don’t care
This is for my daring

Disregarding
Disobeying
Thinking for myself

Never-ending
Stopped pretending
Simply nothing else

One hundred years
I lived in fear
Of failing in my duty

Til that one day
It fell away
A cracked and crumbled beauty

What once felt safe
Is now a wraith
A long and distant feeling

It had to be
Stop killing me
I had to stop the bleeding

You taught me how
Refused to bow
You showed me what to do

And now it’s done
And now I’m one
A person just like you.
