"Captured" lyrics

We were captured en route to escape
Time got angry and wrote down our names
It takes courage to stay in one place
To feel loved as a prisoner

I'm not staying down
I'm just learning how to get up
I'm brave in fixed amounts

Is it escape if you break me out?

A passing thought from my childhood
Became a chain on my heels
Now there's not enough firewood
To heat the last spark on my feet

Please be gentle now
I'm still learning how to grow up
I live in fixed amounts

Is it escape if you break me out?

I know you crafted a key now
But you should hide it from me
I need to find my own way out
A tree should grows its own leaves
I just want my own freedom
From all the trials and thieves
But even once I have lost them
It's time that takes more of me

I need you there as I fade out
To prove I once was complete
They'll ask you how I was captured and freed

You can say I found love in between
You can say I found love in between
