War Not Won by Thalia Zedek Lyrics

I know, I know
The war's not won
The door awaits your shadow's grace

I know, I know
The lion cub
Will break to shards and slash my tongue

An air dancer's what I should be
So fill me up and help me breathe

A birth in reverse
The sun came out
And I'm sewed back inside the dark
How long have you been waiting
How long can you hold on
I am trying so hard to awaken
And I'm trying to keep my eyes open

I've come and gone so many times
I've played the parts, I know the lines
But still I wait for dues to pay
And stories I can give away
I wonder why I feel the same
For such a long, long time it's been
It's been, it's been a long, long time
Reel me in, I'll cut the line

Why, why can't you hear me
When I'm lying so very close to you
And I'm trying do hard to awaken
And I'm trying to keep my eyes open
