Song Lyrics

I'll light the fuse and I'll set that dam to blow
Flooding the entire town below
And all that I've known
What wasn't nailed down will be washed away
My hands are shaking but I will not hesitate
I found the strength to face
The place I fear the most
Is the place I have to go to see the truth

It's okay to feel lost
It just means you're alive
I've told myself a thousand times
From the ashes we will rise
It's okay to feel lost
Walk through the flames and see
You're only left with that you need
We're only here for the journey

Am I bold enough to be underlined
Like sand sifting through time
It all falls in line
Life is a mine field and on one side I'm stuck
I broke the key in the door I tried to unlock
I'm never giving up
The things that haunt you
Are the things you didn't do not what you did

It's okay to feel lost
It just means you're alive
I've told myself a thousand times
From the ashes we will rise
It's okay to feel lost
Walk through the flames and see
You're only left with what you need
We're only here for the journey
We find the truth through tragedy

I'm finding new ways to make the same mistake
Putting my dreams on to paper
And then folding them into planes
Then I left them go because when in Rome
I set fire to what I love the most

I just want to feel alive
I just want to feel alive

It's okay to feel lost
It's okay to feel lost
It's okay to feel lost
It just means you're alive
I've told myself a thousand times
From the ashes we will rise
It's okay to feel lost
Walk through the flames and see
You're only left with what you need
We're only here for the journey
We find the truth through tragedy
