"Foreign Hands" lyrics

"Foreign Hands"

I always felt that it was wrong
To lay my world in foreign hands
So why'd it take so long
To find the strength to steal it back?
All that I once had and some much more
An open door so I can finally breathe again

All this weight should lift from every inch
It suffocates the way that I think
It somehow all becomes
Far from misfortuned destiny
Oh I've come to believe
That's the only way
To pass each day
Confined of feeling so empty
'Til now

I see a way out
And I can see the sun on the horizon
But it's getting more and more distant, oh
Every time you turn and face away
I see a way out
And I can hear an echo that begs to be followed
Lord only knows where it's taking me
Lord only knows where it's taking me

And not so long ago I seem to think
That I had the whole thing figured out
Only to find myself
Trapped at the heart of someone else
But now I finally see the other side
And just in time before I let it pull me in again

I see a way out
And I can see the sun on the horizon
But it's getting more and more distant, oh
Every time you turn and face away
I see a way out
And I can hear an echo that begs to be followed
Lord only knows where it's taking me
Lord only knows where it's taking me

And all new life must be born from the ashes
But I'm more than willing
To start again, to start again, oh
And all new life must be born from the ashes
But I'm more than willing
To start again, to start again, to start again

I see a way out
And I can see the sun on the horizon
But it's getting more and more distant, oh
Every time you turn and face away
I see a way out
And I can hear an echo that begs to be followed
Lord only knows where it's taking me
Lord only knows where it's taking me
